Abstract:
Disclosed is a novel method of making a structuring agent for edible dispersions such as margarines or spreads. Fat, or another structuring component, is subjected to a process involving mixing it with liquefied gas or supercritical gas, and expanding the mixture through an orifice. In the invention, water is added to the mixture prior to expansion, so as to provide a spray liquid in the form of a fat and water emulsion.

Claim (Index 1):
The use as a dispersion structuring agent of a composition obtainable by a method comprising preparing a Spray Liquid comprising a structuring component in a liquid state and gas in a liquefied or supercritical state distributed in the spray liquid, subjecting the Spray Liquid to a first pressure P 1 , expanding said mixture by spraying it through an orifice to an environment having a second pressure P 2 , with P 1 >P 2 , wherein water is added to the Spray Liquid prior to spraying so as to form an emulsion of structuring component and water as the Spray Liquid.
