Patent ID: 7226630

Claim:
An edible moisture barrier composition comprising: from 1 to 35 weight percent of an edible microparticulated high melting lipid having a melting point of 70° C. or higher and a volume average particle size of less than 10 microns; and from 65 to 99 weight percent of an edible low melting triglyceride blend having a melting point of 35° C. or less, the moisture barrier composition having a solid fat content of 50 to 70 weight percent at a storage temperature of about 5 C., a solid fat content of less than 35 weight percent above 37° C. wherein the solid fat content does not change more than 5 weight percent at a storage temperature of 0 to 10° C., the moisture barrier composition having sufficient lipid particles, with a particle size of not more than 0.1 micron, effective to prevent liquid oil in the moisture barrier composition from draining from a fat crystal network formed in the barrier composition.
