Particulate compositions comprising 10-90% wt of a matrix material and 10-90% wt of triglycerides of fatty acids, wherein of said triglycerides the amount of H3 (triglyceride of 3 saturated fatty acids of 16 or more carbon atoms) and H2U (triglyceride of 2 saturated fatty acids of 16 or more carbon atoms and 1 cis-unsaturated fatty acid) taken together is at least 55% wt based on the total amount of triglycerides, wherein the compositions are preferably low in triglycerides of transunsaturated fatty acids, for use as for example a creamer and/or whitener. The invention also relates to a process for preparing such particulates and food products containing such creamer.

Particulate creamer comprising fat and food compositions comprising said creamer

Non-dairy creams that comprise a mixture of triglyceride compositions, having a large variety in fatty acid and triglyceride compositions contained in the mix show improved storage stability and whipping performance. The complex mixtures of triglycerides are preferably obtained via interesterification.

Oil in water emulsion

Food compositions comprising 5-80% wt of triglycerides of fatty acids, 2-80% wt of an edible salt, which compositions contain less than 15% moisture, wherein the amount of H3 (triglyceride of 3 saturated fatty acids of 16 or more carbon atoms) and H2U (triglyceride of 2 saturated fatty acids of 16 or more carbon atoms and 1 cis-unsaturated fatty acid) taken together is at least 55% wt based on the total amount of triglycerides.

Food products comprising fat and a salt

Saturated triglycerides which have a big difference in chain length between the longest and the shortest fatty acid chain and which are able, when incorporated in a small amount into a slow crystallizing fat, particularly a low-trans fat, to increase considerably the speed of crystallization.
