Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
71 words
A low fat spread having a total fat content of 30 to 50% by weight comprising a continuous fatty phase containing a fat blend which is plastic at room temperature and a dispersed proteinaceous aqueous phase containing 0.01-2% of phosphatides, 2-8% of proteinaceous ingredients and 1-30% of dispersed fat, calculated on the weight of the low fat spread, the weight ratio of continuous to dispersed fat being from 1:1 to 40:1.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
71 words
A low fat spread having a total fat content of 30 to 50% by weight comprising a continuous fatty phase containing a fat blend which is plastic at room temperature and a dispersed proteinaceous aqueous phase containing 0.01-2% of phosphatides, 2-8% of proteinaceous ingredients and 1-30% of dispersed fat, calculated on the weight of the low fat spread, the weight ratio of continuous to dispersed fat being from 1:1 to 40:1.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
88 words
A low fat spread having a total fat content of 30 to 50% by weight comprising a continuous fatty phase, containing stabilizing amounts of phosphatides and partial glycerides, and a fat blend of dilatation value of 100-1000 mm 3 125 g at 10°C, and a dispersed proteinaceous aqueous phase containing 0.01-2.0% of phosphatides, 0.01-0.5% of partial glycerides, 2-8% of proteinaceous ingredients, and 1-30% of dispersed fat, calculated on the weight of the low fat spread, the weight ratio of continuous to dispersed fat being from 1:1 to 40:1.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
88 words
A low fat spread having a total fat content of 30 to 50% by weight comprising a continuous fatty phase, containing stabilizing amounts of phosphatides and partial glycerides, and a fat blend of dilatation value of 100-1000 mm 3 125 g at 10°C, and a dispersed proteinaceous aqueous phase containing 0.01-2.0% of phosphatides, 0.01-0.5% of partial glycerides, 2-8% of proteinaceous ingredients, and 1-30% of dispersed fat, calculated on the weight of the low fat spread, the weight ratio of continuous to dispersed fat being from 1:1 to 40:1.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words
Low fat spread according to claim 1 in which the dispersed fatty phase comprises a fat blend of a dilatation value of 100-1000 mm 3 /25 g at 10° C.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
10 words
Low fat spread according to claim 1 comprising sodium caseinate.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
50 words
A process for preparing a low fat spread according to claim 1, which comprises dispersing proteins, phosphatides and a fatty phase in water to prepare the aqueous phase and emulsifying, cooling and working a fatty phase containing a fat blend which is plastic at room temperature, and the aqueous phase.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
40 words
Process according to claim 5, in which the aqueous phase has been prepared by blending water, proteins and an oil-in-water emulsion, the major part of the dispersed fat particles thereof having a major dimension within the range of 1-30 microns.
