Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to an edible emulsion which is stable during storage and carriage and the phases of which are reversed by mechanical working to form an oil-in-water type emulsion, containing a polyhydric alcohol fatty acid ester having a substantial proportion of a polyhydric alcohol fatty acid ester in an amount of about 0.25 - 2.5% by weight of said emulsion and a sucrose fatty acid ester having an HLB value of at least 10 in an amount of about 0.5 - 5% by weight of said emulsion.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
113 words
An edible water-in-oil emulsion, which is stable during storage and carriage and the phase of which can be reversed by mechanical working to form an oil-in-water emulsion, said water-in-oil emulsion comprising about 50 - 95% by weight of a continuous oil phase, about 5 - 50% by weight of a dispersed aqueous phase, a polyhydric alcohol fatty acid ester having a substantial proportion of a polyhydric alcohol unsaturated fatty acid ester in an amount of about 0.25 - 2.5% by weight of said water-in-oil emulsion, and a sucrose fatty acid ester having an HLB value of at least 10 in an amount of about 0.5 - 5% by weight of said water-in-oil emulsion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
113 words
An edible water-in-oil emulsion, which is stable during storage and carriage and the phase of which can be reversed by mechanical working to form an oil-in-water emulsion, said water-in-oil emulsion comprising about 50 - 95% by weight of a continuous oil phase, about 5 - 50% by weight of a dispersed aqueous phase, a polyhydric alcohol fatty acid ester having a substantial proportion of a polyhydric alcohol unsaturated fatty acid ester in an amount of about 0.25 - 2.5% by weight of said water-in-oil emulsion, and a sucrose fatty acid ester having an HLB value of at least 10 in an amount of about 0.5 - 5% by weight of said water-in-oil emulsion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
The edible water-in-oil emulsion of claim 1, wherein the particle size of the dispersed aqueous phase is about 2 - 20 microns.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
The edible water-in-oil emulsion of claim 1, wherein the sucrose fatty acid ester is composed of at least 50% monoester, together with small amounts of diester and triester.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
The edible water-in-oil emulsion of claim 1, wherein the combined fatty acid of the polyhydric alcohol fatty acid ester contains at least 50% unsaturated fatty acid.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
31 words
The edible water-in-oil emulsion of claim 1, wherein the combined polyhydric alcohol of the polyhydric alcohol fatty acid ester is selected from a group consisting of glycerin, propylene glycol and sorbitan.
