Powders that have been obtained from a homogenized and dehydrated oil-in-water emulsion containing (a) a structuring and emulsifying agent, (b) at least one fat, (c) at least one cosmetically active substance, and (d) an aqueous phase, may be reconstituted to regive the oil-in-water emulsion by hydration. The powder can be used, as is, in cosmetic or dermatological products.

Cosmetic or dermatological powder, its preparation process and its uses

Dehydrated particulate food product and preparation thereof

An egg yolk fortified with exogenous soybean lysophosphatidylcholine contained in exogenous soybean lysophospholipids is employed as an emulsification agent in oil and water emulsions, particularly in emulsions which are sterilized. The agent may be obtained by hydrolyzing phospholipids derived from soybeans with phospholipase A2, deactivating the phospholipase A2 with a proteolytic enzyme and then inactivating the proteolytic enzyme by heat-treatment at a temperature of from 80.degree. C. to 90.degree. C., and then, egg yolk is fortified by combining and homogenizing the so-obtained lysophospholipids, or exogenous phospholipids containing lysophosphatidylcholine otherwise obtained, with egg yolk.

Heat-stable oil and water emulsion and preparation thereof

A nutritional composition in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion containing an amino acid source and a glucide is stabilized by the presence of a combination of kappa-carrageenan and xanthan gum. The composition is prepared by mixing a colloidal solution containing an amino acid source and a glucide with an oil-in-water emulsion. The stabilizers may be incorporated into the composition by adding them to the colloidal solution prior to mixing the solution with the emulsion or by adding them after mixing the colloidal solution with the emulsion. The composition also may be sterilized.
