Claim 2
Dependent Claim
31 words
A process for the production of a composition useful as a low caloric fat substitute comprising encapsulating a low caloric or non caloric, non-fibrous core material with an edible fat composition.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
The process of claim 1 material is selected from the group consisting of solids, liquids, aqueous gel-forming compositions, foams, gases, and gas-filled spheres.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
