Abstract
A multi functional edible spread is disclosed as having both a fat and aqueous phase. The spread contains 65 wt % or less triglyceride fat and 0.5 wt % to 12 wt % emulsifiers. At least a portion of the emulsifiers are incorporated into the aqueous phase and are complexed in a starch based clathrate to diminish the taste and flavor problems associated with emulsifiers.
