A stable acidified, emulsified sauce containing preservatives, very high solids and salt is taught. The emulsion has selected emulsifiers and starches to result in good initial emulsification and good further dilution characteristics. The components of the sauce including solids, salt and preservatives, have been selected to achieve a 5 log microbiological kill on storage at ambient temperature without pasteurization and without adversely affecting the fresh flavor or the product. |
