Abstract
The invention relates to a process for the preparation of an edible dispersion comprising oil and structuring agent and one or more of an aqueous phase and/or a solid phase, in which the dispersion is formed by mixing oil, solid structuring agent particles and the aqueous phase and/or the solid phase, wherein the solid structuring agent particles have a microporous structure of submicron size particles.

Process for the preparation of an edible dispersion comprising oil and structuring agent and one or more of an aqueous phase and/or a solid phase, comprising forming the dispersion by mixing oil, solid structuring agent particles having a microporous structure of submicron size particles and the aqueous phase and/or the solid phase, wherein the solid structuring agent particles were made using a micronisation process by preparing a homogeneous mixture of structuring agent and liquefied gas or supercritical gas at a pressure of 5-40 MPa and expanding the mixture through an orifice, under such conditions that a spray jet is applied in which the structuring agent is solidified and micronised.
