Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a low-fat water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion comprising a fat phase in an amount of at most 60 wt % relative to the total weight of the emulsion, an aqueous phase dispersed within the fat phase and an emulsifier composition, said emulsifier composition comprising an Acetone-insoluble (AI) component containing a Phosphatidyl Choline (PC), a Phosphatidyl Inositol (PI), a Phosphatidyl Ethanolamine (PE) and a Phosphatidic Acid (PA), wherein PC is in an amount of at most 15.5% relative to the total weight of the emulsifier composition and wherein the emulsifier composition is characterized by a weight ratio R of at most 65%, the ratio R being defined as ( 1 ) wherein PC+PI+PE+PA is the sum of the individual weights of the respective constituents of the AI component and AI is the total weight of the AI component.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A composition comprising an Acetone-Insoluble (AI) component containing a Phosphatidyl Choline (PC), a Phosphatidyl Inositol (PI), a Phosphatidyl Ethanolamine (PE) and a Phosphatidic Acid (PA), wherein PC is in an amount of at most 15.5% relative to the total weight of the composition and wherein the composition is characterized by a weight ratio R of at most 65%, the ratio R being defined according to Formula 1: R ⁡ ( in ⁢ ⁢ % ) = 100 × PC + PI + PE + PA AI ; and having a ratio P 3 as defined in Formula 4: P 3 = PE + PI + PA AI Formula ⁢ ⁢ 4 of at most 0.50. 2. The composition of claim 1 wherein the amount of PC is at most 13.0%. 3. The composition of claim 1 , which is free of hydrolyzed phospholipids. 4. The composition of claim 1 wherein the amount of PC is at most 12.0%. 5. The composition of claim 1 wherein the amount of PC is at most 10.5%. 6. The composition of claim 1 wherein the amount of PC is at most 8.5%. 7. The composition of claim 1 wherein the amount of PC is at most 7.5%. 8. The composition of claim 1 wherein the PA is in an amount of at most 10%. 9. The composition of claim 1 wherein the PE is in an amount of at most 30%. 10. The composition of claim 1 wherein the PI is in an amount between 10% and 30%.
