Claims86
A food product comprising a thixotropic composition wherein said thixotropic composition comprising a portion of an edible unsaturated oil in combination with an edible solidifying agent, said agent converting said combination of said oil and said solidifying agent into said thixotropic composition, wherein said solidifying agent comprising an edible di-alcohol, said di-alcohol being selected from the group having the formula A:
- wherein, N=8-48;
- X=CHR, O, or NH;
- Y=CHR;
- or C=O;
- and
- R=H or alkyl.
A food product having a thixotropic unsaturated oil composition applied thereto, said composition comprising an edible unsaturated oil in combination with an edible solidifying agent, said agent converting said combination of said oil and said solidifying agent into said thixotropic composition, wherein said solidifying agent comprising an edible di-alcohol, said di-alcohol being selected from the group having the formula A:
- wherein, n=8-48;
- X=CHR, O, or NH;
- Y=CHR;
- or C=O;
- and
- R=H or alkyl.
A process of producing a food product, wherein said food product comprising a thixotropic composition wherein said thixotropic composition comprising an edible unsaturated oil in combination with an edible solidifying agent, said converting said combination of said oil and said solidifying agent into said thixotropic composition, said process comprising the steps of:
- (a) preparing said thixotropic composition, by blending a major portion of an edible unsaturated oil in combination with said edible solidifying agent to produce said thixotropic composition exhibiting both an at least semi-solid state upon standing and a liquid state upon being mechanically disturbed, at a temperature above the melting point of said solidifying agent, wherein said solidifying agent comprising an edible di-alcohol, said di-alcohol being selected from the group having the formula A:
- wherein, n=8-48;
- X=CHR, O, or NH;
- Y=CHR;
- or C=O;
- and
- R=H or alkyl;
- (b) applying said thixotropic composition in liquid state to a food material or product;
- and
- (c) maintaining said thixotropic composition in liquid state in contact with said food material or product for a time sufficient to permit at least a portion of said thixotropic composition to adhere to said food material or product, to produce a food product comprising said thixotropic composition.
A food product comprising a thixotropic composition wherein said thixotropic composition comprising a portion of an edible unsaturated oil in combination with an edible solidifying agent, said agent converting said combination of said oil and said solidifying agent into said thixotropic composition, wherein said solidifying agent comprising an edible di-alcohol, said di-alcohol being selected from the group having the formula B:
- wherein, n=8-48;
- X=CHR, O, or NH;
- Y=CHR;
- or C=O;
- and
- R=H or alkyl.
A food product having a thixotropic unsaturated oil composition applied thereto, said composition comprising an edible unsaturated oil in combination with an edible solidifying agent, said agent converting said combination of said oil and said solidifying agent into said thixotropic composition, wherein said solidifying agent comprising an edible di-alcohol, said di-alcohol being selected from the group having the formula B:
- wherein, n=8-48;
- X=CHR, O, or NH;
- Y=CHR;
- or C=O;
- and
- R=H or alkyl.
A process of producing a food product, wherein said food product comprising a thixotropic composition wherein said thixotropic composition comprising an edible unsaturated oil in combination with an edible solidifying agent, said converting said combination of said oil and said solidifying agent into said thixotropic composition, said process comprising the steps of:
- (a) preparing said thixotropic composition, by blending a major portion of an edible unsaturated oil in combination with said edible solidifying agent to produce said thixotropic composition exhibiting both an at least semi-solid state upon standing and a liquid state upon being mechanically disturbed, at a temperature above the melting point of said solidifying agent, wherein said solidifying agent comprising an edible di-alcohol, said di-alcohol being selected from the group having the formula B:
- wherein, n=8-48;
- X=CHR, O, or NH;
- Y=CHR;
- or C=O;
- and
- R=H or alkyl;
- (b) applying said thixotropic composition in liquid state to a food material or product;
- and
- (c) maintaining said thixotropic composition in liquid state in contact with said food material or product for a time sufficient to permit at least a portion of said thixotropic composition to adhere to said food material or product, to produce a food product comprising said thixotropic composition.
