Abstract
A concentrated emulsion of non-absorbable liquid polyol polyesters and high melting fatty acids or esters thereof in water can be diluted to a highly palatable beverage. The emulsifier system comprises a polyglycerol ester and an aliphatic glycol ester. The beverage provides the hypercholesteremic or obese patient with a highly agreeable vehicle for his daily requirement of non-absorbable liquid polyol polyester.
Claims16
A dietary beverage concentrate, comprising an emulsion of:
- (a) from about 35% to about 60% of a non-absorbable, non-digestible liquid polyol fatty acid polyester having at least 4 fatty acid ester groups, wherein the polyol is selected from the group consisting of sugars and sugar alcohols containing from 4 to 8 hydroxyl groups and wherein each fatty acid group has from about 8 to about 22 carbon atoms;
- and
- (b) from about 10% to about 50% by weight of the polyol fatty acid polyester of a fatty acid having a melting point of 37.degree. C. or higher, or an ester of such fatty acids;
- (c) from about 0.5% to about 3% of a polyglycerol fatty acid emulsifier having an average of from 2 to 10 glycerol units and from 1 to 3 fatty acyl groups of from 14 to 18 carbon atoms per glycerol unit;
- and
- (d) from about 0.5% to about 3% of a fatty acid monoester of an aliphatic diol having from about 3 to about 5 carbon atoms in the diol moiety;
- and
- (e) from about 5% to about 15% of a saccharide;
- and
- (f) the balance comprising water and flavorings.
