A process for the manufacture of low-fat spreads, and intermediates for use therein.

摘要

A process for producing a fat-reduced, edible water-in oil spread of the type produced by dispersing water into an, at least partially uncrystallized fat which includes: (a) substantially crystallizing the fat; and (b) subjecting the resulting mixture to cutting and mixing in a turbine-like comminuting device, wherein the increase in the temperature of the mixture due to the cutting and mixing thereof is from about 1.5 Celsius degrees up to a temperature above which the mixture becomes destabilized and substantial amounts of water are released from the water-in-oil mixture.
