Abstract
Abstract Aqueous oil emulsions which can be whipped to an overrun of 70 to 500% and heat treated for microbial stability are prepared containing an aqueous phase with a pH of 4.2 to 5.5, a fat content of 3 to 50%, an emulsifier that forms a flocculate in water at the pH of the aqueous phase, such as partial fatty acid esters of polyalcohols, and a globular protein in substantial absence of coagulated protein. The globular protein may be a complex of globular protein with an anionic polysaccharide and the fat may be butter fat or vegetable fat.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
168 words
A process for the preparation of an aqueous oil emulsion of prolonged storage life, which can be whipped to an overrun of from 70 to 500 percent, which comprises: a. preparing an aqueous phase having a pH in the range of 4.2 to 5.0 and containing from 0.5 to 4 percent of its weight of globular protein in the substantial absence of coagulated protein, of which globular protein at least 60 percent by weight is in the form of a complex with an anionic polysaccharide; b. mixing the aqueous phase with an emulsifier selected from the group consisting of partial fatty acid esters of glycerol, partial fatty acid esters of propylene glycol and glycerolactopalmitate in an amount of from 0.3 to 2.0% by weight of the emulsion and with a fat in an amount of from 3 to 50 percent by weight of the emulsion at a temperature at which the fat is liquid; and, c. homogenizing the mixture at a temperature at which the fat is liquid.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
168 words
A process for the preparation of an aqueous oil emulsion of prolonged storage life, which can be whipped to an overrun of from 70 to 500 percent, which comprises: a. preparing an aqueous phase having a pH in the range of 4.2 to 5.0 and containing from 0.5 to 4 percent of its weight of globular protein in the substantial absence of coagulated protein, of which globular protein at least 60 percent by weight is in the form of a complex with an anionic polysaccharide; b. mixing the aqueous phase with an emulsifier selected from the group consisting of partial fatty acid esters of glycerol, partial fatty acid esters of propylene glycol and glycerolactopalmitate in an amount of from 0.3 to 2.0% by weight of the emulsion and with a fat in an amount of from 3 to 50 percent by weight of the emulsion at a temperature at which the fat is liquid; and, c. homogenizing the mixture at a temperature at which the fat is liquid.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
A process according to claim 1, in which the homogenised emulsion is both pasteurised by heat and packaged.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
29 words
A process according to claim 2, in which the non-whipped emulsion is packaged and then pasteurised under such conditions that the content is moving with respect to the container.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
A process according to claim 1, in which the emulsion is whipped and then packaged.
