The invention relates to a process for the preparation of an edible dispersion comprising oil and structuring agent and one or more of an aqueous phase and/or a solid phase, in which the dispersion is formed by mixing oil, solid structuring agent particles and the aqueous phase and/or the solid phase, wherein the solid structuring agent particles have a microporous structure of submicron size particles.

Process for the preparation of an edible dispersion comprising oil and structuring agent

The invention relates to a spray crystallization process for making solid particles suitable for structuring an oil containing dispersion, solid particles obtainable by said process and use of said particles for structuring oil containing dispersions.

Cryogenic spray process

The invention relates to edible fat powders having a full width at half maximum of the first order long spacing X-ray diffraction peak of 0.17 to 0.80 degrees and a free flowing density of 10 to 350 g/l; with the proviso that when the free flowing density is equal to or greater than C, the full width at half maximum is equal to or greater than ((A*free flowing density)+B), wherein A is 0.0005625, B is 0.213 degrees and C is 90 g/l. The invention further relates to a method of preparing a fat continuous spread comprising the use of such edible fat powder.
