Abstract
The present invention provides oil-in-water emulsion food product dressings and a method for preparing oil-in-water emulsion food product dressings. The method achieves an increase in the viscosity and, hence, the stability, of the food product dressings, which permits the food product dressings to achieve a desired level of viscosity with the use of smaller quantities of oil. This advantageously permits the production of reduced calorie oil-in-water emulsion food product dressings at a reduced cost.
