Abstract
There is disclosed a process for producing an oil-in-water-in-oil emulsion, which comprises: PA0 (i) producing a bimodal oil-in-water emulsion by (a) preparing a cream comprising water, a stabilizing protein and oil in which the average diameter of the oil droplets ranges from 0.1 to 2 .mu.m; (b) adding to the cream thus obtained an appropriate amount of oil and applying shear conditions such as to ensure that oil droplets are formed having an average diameter of at least 20 .mu.m; PA0 (ii) converting said bimodal emulsion into an oil-in-water-in-oil emulsion by applying conditions causing coalescence and crystallization of the larger oil droplets.
