Abstract:
1. A method for making an edible emulsion comprising insoluble fruit fibers comprising the steps: a) mixing, in no particular order, oil, water, dairy base, insoluble citrus fruit fiber, and emulsifier to make a coarse emulsion; wherein the insoluble citrus fruit fiber is applied in a concentration from about 0.5 to about 9.0%, based on the total weight of the edible emulsion; and b) recovering the coarse emulsion; and c) homogenizing the coarse emulsion in a homogenizer pressured from about 35.0 to about 650.0 bar and at a temperature from about 15° C. to about 70° C. whereby the homogenization is carried out in two or more separate homogenization steps, to produce a smooth emulsion comprising oil droplets, wherein at least about 80.0% of all droplets present are less than 10.0 μm; and further comprising the step of adding acidulant; wherein the acidulant is added before or after the coarse emulsion is made; whereby the dairy base is selected from the group consisting of yoghurt, crème fraiche, sour cream, cream, and mixtures thereof.
