Abstract
Abstract The present invention is concerned with an edible plastified dispersion having a fat content of less then 30% by weight and comprising a continuous fat phase, which includes an aqueous phase that contains protein or hydrocolloid or a mixture thereof, wherein the composition constituting the aqueous phase has a viscosity of less than 400 cps at a temperature of 35°C and a shear rate of 1000 s⁻¹, and wherein the content of amino acid residues is less than 200 ppm calculated on the weight of the aqueous phase. The dispersions according to the invention are stable at ambient temperature and have favourable organoleptic properties.
