Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
123 words
A baking composition wherein margarine is segregated from other baking ingredients in a composite product comprising margarine and a water-free fatty phase wherein the margarine comprises a continuous fat phase and an aqueous phase dispersed therein and the water-free fatty phase comprises a fat in which said baking ingredients are dispersed therein, and wherein the margarine and water-free fatty phase are combined in said composite body to provide a substantially uniform cross-sectional area in which the margarine constitutes a major proportion of the area and the water-free fatty phase constitutes the remaining minor proportion of said area which is distinct and separate from the margarine and the water-free fatty phase provides protection for the baking ingredients which may be adversely affected by water.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
123 words
A baking composition wherein margarine is segregated from other baking ingredients in a composite product comprising margarine and a water-free fatty phase wherein the margarine comprises a continuous fat phase and an aqueous phase dispersed therein and the water-free fatty phase comprises a fat in which said baking ingredients are dispersed therein, and wherein the margarine and water-free fatty phase are combined in said composite body to provide a substantially uniform cross-sectional area in which the margarine constitutes a major proportion of the area and the water-free fatty phase constitutes the remaining minor proportion of said area which is distinct and separate from the margarine and the water-free fatty phase provides protection for the baking ingredients which may be adversely affected by water.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
A baking composition according to claim 1 wherein the water-free fatty phase comprises from 4 to 8% of the total fat composition.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
A baking composition according to claim 1 wherein the solids content of said continuous fat phase and said water-free fatty phase at 20° C. is not more than about 25%.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
A baking composition according to claim 1 wherein the other baking ingredients are members selected from the group consisting of enzymes, emulsifiers, amino acids and mixtures thereof.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words
A baking composition according to claim 1 comprising a block of margarine surrounding a single rod or bar co-extensive with and inside said block of margarine.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
95 words
A method of making a bakery composition comprising the steps of: (i) preparing a water-in-oil emulsion from a fat composition and an aqueous phase including emulsifiers; (ii) working and chilling the emulsion obtained in a scraped-surface heat exchanger means; (iii) preparing a water-free fatty phase by dispersion of emulsifiers and other baking ingredients into a plastic fat, said water-free fatty phase being present to provide protection for the baking ingredients which may be adversely affected by water; and (iv) extruding said fatty phase into the margarine in a proportion of about 4 to about 8%.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
