Abstract
Abstract There is provided a low oil cream composition which does not require a large amount of any particular emulsifying agent but has good physical properties after the whipping as well as good flavor and melting property in the mouth, even a low oily ingredient content such as not greater than 40%, and also provides is an oil-and-fat feedstock for production of the cream composition. The oil-and-fat feedstock for production of the cream composition is obtained by formulating not less than 30% of SUS-type triglycerides and 5 to 60% of a lauric-type oil-and-fat ingredient. A low-oil cream composition can be produced by the feedstock alone or, by further adding a cream containing milk fat to the cream. Then, it is possible to provide a low-oil cream composition having flavor and body comparable with fresh cream and to provide a process for production thereof.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
111 words
A process for production of a low-oil cream composition which comprises mixing an oily phase comprising an oil-and-fat feedstock comprising SUS-type triglycerides in an amount of at least 25% and a lauric-type oil-and-fat ingredient in an amount of from 5% to 60% by weight, based on the total weight of oil ingredients of the oil-and-fat feedstock, with an aqueous phase comprising milk solids to form a low-oil cream composition having an oily-ingredient content of at most 40% by weight based on the total weight of the composition, the solid fat content of said oil-and-fat feedstock being not less than 50% at 5° C. and not less than 40% at 15° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
111 words
A process for production of a low-oil cream composition which comprises mixing an oily phase comprising an oil-and-fat feedstock comprising SUS-type triglycerides in an amount of at least 25% and a lauric-type oil-and-fat ingredient in an amount of from 5% to 60% by weight, based on the total weight of oil ingredients of the oil-and-fat feedstock, with an aqueous phase comprising milk solids to form a low-oil cream composition having an oily-ingredient content of at most 40% by weight based on the total weight of the composition, the solid fat content of said oil-and-fat feedstock being not less than 50% at 5° C. and not less than 40% at 15° C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the milk solids as solids-non-fat is present in the composition in an amount of 3 to 8%, based on the total weight of the low-oil cream composition.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
104 words
A process for production of a low-oil cream composition which comprises mixing (i) an emulsion of an oil-and-fat feedstock comprising sus-type triglyerides in an amount of at least 25% and a lauric-type oil-and-fat ingredient in an amount of from 5% to 60% by weight based on the total weight of oil ingredients of the oil-and-fat feedstock with (ii) a n emulsion containing in milk fat to form a low-oil cream composition having an oily-ingredient content of at most 40% by weight based on the total weight of the composition and being capable of being whipped to a whipping cream having good shape retention properties.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
104 words
A process for production of a low-oil cream composition which comprises mixing (i) an emulsion of an oil-and-fat feedstock comprising sus-type triglyerides in an amount of at least 25% and a lauric-type oil-and-fat ingredient in an amount of from 5% to 60% by weight based on the total weight of oil ingredients of the oil-and-fat feedstock with (ii) a n emulsion containing in milk fat to form a low-oil cream composition having an oily-ingredient content of at most 40% by weight based on the total weight of the composition and being capable of being whipped to a whipping cream having good shape retention properties.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the low-oil cream composition is whipped to produce a whipped cream having good shape retention.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
31 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the solid fat content of the oil-and-fat feedstock is not less than 50% at 5° C. and not less than 40% at 15° C.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
32 words
A process according to claim 3 , wherein the solids-non-fat content of the emulsion of the oil-and-fat feedstock is 3 to 8% by weight based on the total weight of the emulsion.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
16 words
A process according to claim 3 , wherein the emulsion containing milk fat is fresh milk.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
61 words
A process according to claim 3 , wherein both emulsions are mixed so that the content of SUS-type triglycerides is at least 20% by weight, the content of the lauric-type oil-and-fat is 5 to 60% by weight and the content of milk fat is 5 to 25% by weight based on the total weight of the oily ingredients of the composition.
