Abstract
A triglyceride oil-in-glycerin emulsion with triglyceride oil in an amount equal to between forty and seventy percent of the emulsion on a weight basis, glycerin in an amount equal to between twenty and sixty percent of the emulsion on a weight basis, and lecithin in an amount equal to between one and ten percent of the emulsion on a weight basis. The lecithin has a hydrophilic lipophilic balance value in the range of four to seven and contains at least ten percent phosphatidylcholine on a weight basis. The free fatty acids in the emulsion have an acid value of less than two. The emulsion does not contain any preservatives.
