Abstract
Abstract A concentrated emulsion of non-absorbable liquid polyol polyesters and high melting fatty acids or esters thereof in water can be diluted to a highly palatable beverage. The emulsifier system comprises a polyglycerol ester and an aliphatic glycol ester. The beverage provides the hypercholesteremic or obese patient with a highly agreeable vehicle for his daily requirement of non-absorbable liquid polyol polyester.
