Abstract
The present invention pertains to an edible fat-containing product comprising two distinct fat phases (A) and (B); fat phase (A) comprising indigestible polyol fatty acid polyesters and fat phase (B) essentially consisting of digestible fat, wherein fat phase (B) contains an oil-soluble vitamin at a concentration level that is at least twice as high as the concentration level of said vitamin in fat phase (A) and in which fat phase (A) and fat phase (B) are separated from each other by a third phase which is essentially impervious to the oil-soluble vitamin. Yet another aspect of the invention is a process for the preparation of an edible fat-containing product, comprising combining a first fat containing fraction of which the fat essentially consists of digestible fat and which first fraction contains an oil-soluble vitamin, with a second fraction containing indigestible polyol fatty acid polyesters, wherein the concentration level of the oil-soluble vitamin in the digestible fat of the first fraction is at least twice as high as in the polyol fatty acid polyesters of the second fraction, and subjecting the combined fractions to such mild processing conditions that the final produc…
