Abstract
The food, e.g., a fat- or milk prod., contains hollow microspheres, the thin walls of which consist, at least in part, of gelatin enclosing a single-cell central cavity. The presence of the hollow gelatin microspheres is hardly noticed on chewing soft foods, e.g. spreads on bread. Hollow gelatin microspheres, having dia. 0.2 mm, are softer than microsphere of synthetic plastic. The microspheres form a unit with surrounding food, w.r.t. taste and appearance. The microspheres can enclose up to 50 vol.% air. Gelatin is safely used in foods. The gelatin microspheres resist fats. Water-solubility is reduced by crosslinking, e.g., with HCHO. Crosslinking also increases resistance to digestive juices.
