Abstract

A dry mix which contains an emulsification system including a combination of Polysorbate 60, xanthan gum and lecithin can be used to produce a creamy and stable fluid emulsion by hand shaking the dry mix with an aqueous phase and an oil phase. The amount of shaking required to produce a stable oil-in-water emulsion is much reduced as compared to other emulsification systems. The emulsification system of this invention has broad applicability for producing comestibles having a creamy texture and mouthfeel.
