Abstract
This invention provides emulsions comprising a continuous fatty phase and a dispersed liquid aqueous phase and dispersed gelled aqueous ingredients, e.g. prepared by blending a gelling agent containing low fat spread in line with one free from gelling agents.
Claims3
An edible fat spread of the water-in-oil emulsion type comprising an aqueous phase consisting of (a) a finely dispersed non-gelled aqueous phase of a droplet size ranging from 1 to 5 microns, and (b) coarsely dispersed aqueous gelled spherical droplets of a droplet size ranging from 10 to 20 microns which contain a gelling agent and at 15.degree.-20.degree. C. have a gel strength ranging from 0.1 to 30 N/cm.sup.2 as measured with an Instron apparatus employed in the linear compression test mode performed at room temperature, wherein the weight ratio of (a):(b) is 85-15:
- 15-85 and the weight ratio of the continuous fat phase to the combined dispersed phases is 20-80:
- 80-20.
