Title:		[UMA 04-16]Production of Reduced-Caloric Food Products by Encapsulation of Lipids in Interfacial Membranes Containing Dietary Fiber
Inventor:		D. Julian McClements and Eric Decker
Summary:		An improvement over other previously developed fat substitutes, this technology would produce food products containing traditional edible oils, but oil droplets are encapsulated in inedible membranes which render them indigestible by humans and certain animals. Droplets stabilized by three (or more) layers are formed using a multiple-stage process. The interfacial membrane may be comprised of dietary fiber alone, or in conjunction with other emulsifiers and biopolymers (such as food-grade phospholipids, surfactants, fatty acids, proteins, polysaccharides).
