Zusammenfassung:This invention pertains to reduced-fat compositions in the form of an emulsion which comprises in percentages by weight of the total composition (A) an oil phase comprising an edible fat or oil present in an amount from about 1% to about 99%; and (B) an aqueous phase present in an amount from about 1% to about 99%, wherein the aqueous phase comprises a protein complexing agent present in an amount from about 0.2% to about 98%. The reduced-fat compositions may be used directly or may be incorporated in effective amounts into edible carriers to provide a wide variety of edible compositions. This invention also pertains to methods for preparing and using these reduced-fat compositions and the edible compositions in which they may be employed.
