Abstract
A method of making stable, low-calorie emulsion-type dressings wherein the triglyceride oil is replaced wholly or partially with an edible, wholly or partially nondigestible, low-calorie polyol fatty acid polyester is provided. A preemulsion containing at least a portion of the polyol fatty acid polyester, preferably sucrose fatty acid polyester, is prepared in a thickened gum solution. The preemulsion is then combined with the remaining ingredients. Stable mayonnaise-type products can be prepared containing about 40 to 60 weight percent polyol fatty acid polyesters. By incorporating a starch, viscous salad dressings containing about 12 to 50 weight percent polyol fatty acid polyesters can be prepared. The mayonnaise-type products can be used as a base for pourable salad dressings containing about 12 to 50 weight percent polyol fatty acid polyesters.
