Abstract
Abstract An emulsifier composition for use in starch containing foods which is prepared by melt-mixing a composition consisting of 65 to 90 wt % of saturated fatty acid monoglyceride and 35 to 10 wt % of cis-type unsaturated fatty acid monoglyceride, said composition having an iodine value of 10 to 40, with less than 10 wt % of one or more monoglycerides selected from diacetyltartaric acid esters of monoglyceride, mixed tartaric and acetic acid esters of monoglyceride, tartaric acid esters of monoglyceride and citric acid esters of monoglyceride, and powdering the resultant mixture.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
91 words
A powdered emulsifier composition which is prepared by meltmixing a monoglyceride composition consisting of 65 to 90 wt% of a saturated fatty acid monoglyceride and 35 to 10 wt% of a cis-type unsaturated fatty acid monoglyceride, said composition having an iodine value of 10 to 40, with 1 to 10 wt% of one or more polybasic acid esters of monoglycerides selected from diacetyltartaric acid esters of monoglyceride, mixed tartaric and acetic acid esters of monoglyceride, tartaric acid esters of monoglyceride and citric acid esters of monoglyceride, and powdering the resultant mixture.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
91 words
A powdered emulsifier composition which is prepared by meltmixing a monoglyceride composition consisting of 65 to 90 wt% of a saturated fatty acid monoglyceride and 35 to 10 wt% of a cis-type unsaturated fatty acid monoglyceride, said composition having an iodine value of 10 to 40, with 1 to 10 wt% of one or more polybasic acid esters of monoglycerides selected from diacetyltartaric acid esters of monoglyceride, mixed tartaric and acetic acid esters of monoglyceride, tartaric acid esters of monoglyceride and citric acid esters of monoglyceride, and powdering the resultant mixture.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
The emulsifier composition according to claim 1 wherein the polybasic acid esters of monoglycerides are melt-mixed in an amount of 2 to 7 wt%.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
A method of improving the quality of starch-containing foods which comprises adding directly to the food or to a preparative component thereof an effective amount of emulsifier composition of claim 1.
