Abstract
The present invention is concerned with an edible plastic dispersion not having a continuous fat phase, including at least two condensed phases, at least one of which is continuous, which dispersion comprises PA1 (I) gel-forming composition (A) containing gelling agent (a) in an amount of 1-8 times the critical concentration, and PA1 (II) gel-forming composition (B) containing gelling agent (b) in an amount of 1-8 times the critical concentration, such that PA1 (i) at least one of the gelling agents is an aggregate-forming gelling agent, PA1 (ii) at least one of the gelling agents is a gelling agent other than starch, PA1 (iii) both gelling agents are gelling agents other than non-waxy intact starch, and PA1 (iv) gelling agent (a) is different from gelling agent (b). The dispersion according to the present invention does not exhibit deficiences such as brittleness or too much elasticity.
