Abstract
Abstract A buttered table syrup is provided in a polyolefin bottle. An emulsifier is selected which provides a storage stable product. The product does not develop an objectionable off-flavor when packaged in a polyolefin container. The emulsifier has three components: locust bean gum; carageenin; and pectin.
