Margarine fat blend, and a process for producing said fat blend

摘要

There is disclosed a margarine fat blend comprising a liquid oil and a hardstock predominantly of triglycerides from 2 saturated C16-18-fatty acids and 1 saturated C12-14-fatty acid. Said hardstock can be used at levels as low as 4% by weight along with liquid oils comprising triglycerides from polyunsaturated fatty acids, for producing diet margarines. A process for producing said margarine fat blend is also disclosed, comprising interesterification of (a) triglycerides rich in C16-18-fatty acid residues with (b) triglycerides rich in C12-14-fatty acid residues and fractionation of the interesterified mixture.
