Abstract
Spoonable or spreadable compositions containing less than 80% fat are disclosed. Such compositions comprise water, fat, micro gel particles, a protein and a de-stabilizing emulsifier. The aqueous phase of the composition forms a continuous phase with the fat phase as a continuous network therein, giving a bi-continuous structure with the microgel particles dispersed in the water phase.
