Prepared foods containing triglyceride-recrystallized non-esterified phytosterols

   
   

A prepared food product for ingestion by mammals is described and methods for preparing such products. The food product includes an oxidation-resistant fat-based composition substantially free of exogenous solubilizing and dispersing agents for phytosterols. The fat-based composition includes between 75% and 98% by weight of at least one triglyceride-based edible oil or fat, and between 2% and 25% by weight of non-esterified phytosterols. Typically, approximately 1.5% by weight of phytosterols remain soluble at room temperature, and between 0.5% and 23.5% by weight are converted to triglyceride-recrystallized phytosterols (TRPs). The fat-based composition which has been partially oxidized in the prepared food by exposure to air (and typically heat), contains a reduced amount of oxidative by-products compared to a similar fat-based composition lacking these non-esterified phytosterols.

Um produto de alimento preparado para o ingestion por mamíferos é descrito e métodos para preparar tais produtos. O produto de alimento inclui uma composição fat-based oxidação-resistente substancialmente livre de agentes solubilizing e dispersando-se exogenous para phytosterols. A composição fat-based inclui entre 75% e 98% pelo peso ao menos de um óleo edible triglyceride-baseado ou gordo, e entre 2% e 25% pelo peso de phytosterols non-esterified. Tipicamente, aproximadamente 1.5% pelo peso dos phytosterols remanescem soluble na temperatura de quarto, e entre 0.5% e 23.5% pelo peso são convertidos aos phytosterols triglyceride-triglyceride-recrystallized (TRPs). A composição fat-based que foi oxidada parcialmente no alimento preparado pela exposição ao ar (e tipicamente ao calor), contem uma quantidade reduzida de by-products oxidative comparados a uma composição fat-based similar que falta estes phytosterols non-esterified.
