Abstract
An emulsion for use as a shortening substitute is disclosed to contain from about 10% to about 40% of a fat phase containing a triglyceride and emulsifier containing propylene glycol monoester of fats and fatty acids; from about 60% to about 90% of an aqueous phase containing 5% to about 30% of a viscosifier and 10% to 50% of a polyol humectant. The viscosifier may include a starch, a starch derivative, or a gum. This plastic emulsion is used to make a reduced fat shortening substitute in bakery products.
