Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Food and beverage products including natural stabilizers, and particularly to replace EDTA, are provided. In particular, the food products comprise oil-in-water emulsions and the natural stabilizers include high molecular weight polymers which are effective to extend the shelf-life of the products.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A food product in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion, the food product comprising a chelating agent in a non-thickening amount that is effective to provide oxidative stability to the food product for at least about 7 months at 21° C. when the emulsion is substantially free of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, wherein the chelating agent comprises one or more of a non-hydrolyzed alginate, a low methoxy pectin having a molecular weight of about 60,000 to 130 000 g/mol, and a caseinate. 2. The food product according to claim 1 , the food product comprising about 40% to about 80% oil. 3. The food product according to claim 1 , the food product comprising about 11% to about 49% water. 4. The food product according to claim 1 , wherein the food product is a mayonnaise or salad dressing product. 5. The food product according to claim 1 , wherein the chelating agent comprises the low methoxy pectin in an amount of about 0.05% to about 1% by weight of the food product. 6. The food product according to 5 , wherein the low methoxy pectin has a degree of esterification value of less than 25. 7. The food product according to claim 1 , wherein the chelating agent comprises the non-hydrolyzed alginate in an amount of about 0.05% to about 1% by weight of the food product. 8. The food product according to claim 1 , wherein the chelating agent comprises the caseinate in an amount of about 0.1% to about 3% by weight of the food product. 9. The food product according to claim 1 , further comprising a natural antioxidant selected from alpha-tocopherol, beta-carotene, rosemary extract, green tea extract, grapeseed extract, cherry extract, or a combination thereof.
