Abstract
A FLUIDIZED fat composition is described which has an oil blend of 90-99.8 wt. % of an unhydrogenated liquid oil and 10-0.2 wt. % of a fully hydrogenated fat having an iodine value of less than 10 which forms a crystal network in the final composition. The composition optionally contains colors, flavorings, microcrystalline edible salt, essential oils, oleo and aqua resins, natural extractives in conjunction with herb and spices, cheeses and other seasonings, lecithin and antioxidants, starches, sugars, and other flavoring ingredients. It contains low saturated fatty acids and low to substantially no trans fatty acids.

- (i) 90-99.8 wt. % of unhydrogenated liquid oil;
- (ii) 10-0.2 wt. % of a fully hydrogenated fat having an iodine value of less than 10 which forms a crystal network in the pourable fat composition;
- (iii) about 0.1 wt. % to 0.084 wt. % lecithin;
- (iv) 0.6-1.9 wt. % of a microcrystalline edible salt having a particle size such that 95-99% of the salt passes through a U.S.S. Mesh with a 44 Micron opening,
- wherein the composition has a viscosity of about 500 to about 3000 cps at 22% and is stable at ambient temperature for at least 365 days.
