Production of low-fat compositions (especially spreads) from vegetable fats by mechanical treatment with controlled crystallisation

摘要

Production of a fat composition comprises liquifying a fat (mixture) and optionally emulsifying with further ingredients, mechanically treating, cooling under such conditions as to give controlled crystallisation, optionally mixing with other solid ingredients and packaging the product. Production of a fat composition comprises: (i) liquifying a fat (mixture) and optionally emulsifying with further ingredients; (ii) mechanically treating the liquified product and cooling under such conditions as to give controlled crystallisation; (iii) further mechanically treating the crystallized product at 10-30 deg C and optionally mixing with other solid ingredients; and (iv) packaging the product.
