those categories that will bear the cost.<br />

D. Blending Ingredients<br />

Another strategy that is somewhat old but has resulted in a number of useful<br />

products is the use of blends and coprocessed ingredients (Table 7). The number<br />

of these products seems to be increasing over the last couple of years as<br />

suppliers struggle to come up with more ‘‘user-friendly’’ or process-friendly fatreplacement<br />
