Abstract:
1. An edible moisture barrier composition comprising a mixture of structured glycerol ester compositions having the general formula (A): where each R group independently represents a short fatty acid residue “S” of 2 to 4 carbons, a medium fatty acid residue “M” having 6 to 12 carbons, or a saturated long fatty acid residue “L” having 14 to 22 carbons, the mixture comprising about 23 to about 70 percent SSL triacylglycerols and about 6 to about 30 percent SML triacylglycerols, and wherein the molar ratio of [M]/[S] residues in the mixture is about 0.1 to about 0.5 and the molar ratio of [S+M]/[L] residues is about 0.7 to about 2.0, and wherein the mixture of structured glycerol ester compositions contains a stable alpha crystal phase.
