Abstract

The invention relates to an edible oil-and-water emulsion comprising: 10 - 85 wt% of fat; 5 - 90 wt% of water; 0.4 - 100 μιτιοΙ per ml of water of cationic iron selected from ferric iron (Fe3+), ferrous iron (Fe2+) and combinations thereof; 0 - 25 μmol per ml of water of divalent cations (M2+) selected from Ca2+, Mg2+, Zn2+, Cu2+ and combinations thereof; 0.5 - 1,000 μιτιοΙ per ml of water of polyphosphate anion selected from pyrophosphate (P2O7 4-), triphosphate (P3O10 5-), tetraphosphate (P4O13 6-) and combinations thereof; and 0 -20 wt% of one or more other ingredients; wherein: (4x[P2O7 4-]+5x[P3O10 5-]+6x[P4O13 6-]) / (2x[Fe2+]+3x[Fe3+]+2x[M2+]) ≥ 1.2; [X] representing the molar concentration of compound X in the edible emulsion, and [M2+] representing the total molar concentration of the divalent cation(s) M2+. These emulsions combine high bioavailability of the iron with excellent product taste and good product stability.
