Abstract:
1. A method for in situ production of an emulsifier in a foodstuff, comprising: adding a lipid acyltransferase to the foodstuff, whereby, when in contact with the foodstuff, the lipid acyl transferase through its acyl transferase activity transfers an acyl group from a lipid to one or more acceptor substrates having a hydroxy group to form a least one emulsifier, wherein: the lipid acyltransferase comprises the amino acid sequence motif GDSX, X is an amino acid residue selected from the group consisting of: L, A, V, I, F, Y, H, Q, T, N, M and S and the lipid acyltransferase when tested using the Transferase Assay in Buffered Substrate has at least 5% acyltransferase activity (relative acyltransferase activity), wherein
