Abstract:
1. A method of producing a fat-containing suspension or a fat-containing emulsion, said method comprising the following steps: forming an emulsion comprising a disperse aqueous phase and a continuous fat phase using a reactive emulsifying technique, wherein the emulsion comprising a disperse aqueous phase and a continuous fat phase is formed at elevated temperatures for the purpose of adjusting the viscosity ratio of the disperse phase to the continuous phase to within the range of 30° C. to 120° C. wherein the viscosity of the disperse phase is reduced so that the disperse aqueous phase and the continuous fat phase exhibit viscosity ratios up to 5:1 and wherein, during or after the step of forming an emulsion, the disperse aqueous phase is evaporated to water content of 0% to 40%, wherein the dry matter content of the disperse phase is increased by evaporation under atmospheric or reduced pressure conditions in the range of 0.1 bar to 1 bar, and thus supersaturation is achieved; and then mixing the emulsion with a fat phase.
