Definitions

• the present invention relates to emulsifier-lipid compositions. More specifically, the present invention relates to emulsifier-lipid composition particularly useful in the preparation of sheetable doughs, such as fabricated snacks, especially low-fat fabricated snacks.
• Emulsifiers are commonly used in the preparation of doughs which are further processed by sheeting, extruding, frying, baking and other food processing activities.
• the composition and functionality of the emulsifier has great impact on the process feasibility of the dough and the texture of the final product.
• dough compositions are formed into a sheet using various sheeting processes or equipment such as a roll mill.
• the dough is subjected to various stressful processes (e.g., mixing, sheeting, milling, and extrusion).
• various stressful processes e.g., mixing, sheeting, milling, and extrusion.
• the starch cells swell and burst releasing amylose (i.e., free starch).
• amylose interacts with the water in the dough to give a cohesive, elastic dough sheet.
• Emulsifiers in particular, mono-diglycerides are generally added at low levels to the dough compositions.
• the emulsifier helps prevent stickiness of the dough by complexing a portion of the amylose while allowing enough stiffness and adhesiveness in the dough to form a cohesive and elastic dough sheet.
• HLB hydrophilic/lipophilic balance
• lower HLB emulsifiers such as ethoxylated mono- and diglyceride, polyglycerol esters and diacetyl tartaric acid esters may be used in combination with emulsifiers having an HLB of 11.
• HLB emulsifiers such as ethoxylated mono- and diglyceride, polyglycerol esters and diacetyl tartaric acid esters

• the second component of the emulsifier-lipid composition is a polyglycerol ester.
• polyglycerol ester include decaglycerol decaoleate, triglycerol monostearate, octaglycerol monostearate, and octaglycerol mono-palmitate. These materials are normally not obtained in pure form, but are generally the reaction products of an esterification between a preselected cut of polyglycerols and desired saturated fatty acids. The result is a distribution of polyglycerol mono-ester and higher-esters determined by ratio of reactants and reaction conditions.
• the polyglycerol esters of the present invention are specifically tailored by controlling the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) of the polyglycerol esters. This is done by controlling the balance of esterified to unesterified hydroxyl groups during the process of esterfication. With an increasing number of hydroxyl groups esterified, the polyglycerol ester becomes progressively more lipophilic. This hydrophilic-lipophilic balance of the polyglycerol ester is important in preparing polyglycerol ester for use in sheeted doughs.
• HLB hydrophilic-lipophilic balance
• Unesterified polyglycerols, long chain polyglycerol monoesters, and diesters and tri-esters of diglycerols and triglycerols should be limited in the polyglycerol ester component of the present invention. Unreacted polyglycerol (i.e. unesterfied) retained in the finished esters have little or no emulsifier functionality, but because of their more polar nature are less soluble in non-digestible lipids leading to phase separation and a non-homogenous emulsifier-lipid composition.
• the smaller chained polyglycerol monoesters are very functional components of the polyglycerol esters in the polyglycerol ester component of the emulsifier-lipid composition and thus their concentration should be relatively high compared to other ester moieties.
• the di- and triesters of di- and triglycerols are too lipophilic and may also have a deleterious effect on the finished snack product.
• Saturated diglycerides e.g. dipalmitin, distearin
• the cylic diglycerol esters are deleterious emulsifier components and therefore their concentrations should be minimized in the polyglycerol esters.

• Polyglycerol esters can be purified through fractionation, molecular distillation or solvent crystallization.
