Definitions

  • the present invention relates to edible fat-containing products, such as a low-fat margarine, and methods for their preparation.
  • Food compositions comprising fats and oils such as spreads, margarine and the like, whether in the form of water in oil (w/o) or oil in water (o/w) emulsions, typically contain blends of structuring fats or solid fats and oil (often vegetable oil).
  • the structuring or solid fat provides the structure and texture to the resulting oil and water emulsion by crystallisation of the triglycerides in the blend.
  • structuring fats contain more saturated and longer- chain fatty acids.
  • Vegetable oils typically contain more unsaturated fatty acids and are usually liquid at room temperature.
  • blends are made from solid fats (structuring fats) and oils wherein the solid fat (also known in the art as hard stock) provides the structure to incorporate oil into the emulsion.
  • Hydrogenation is a process of hardening fats and oils by converting unsaturated fatty acids in fats and oils to saturated fats. Hardening of fats is an efficient way of improving the structuring properties of fat and oils. Hydrogenation is perceived by consumers as a nonnatural way of adapting fat compositions. Hydrogenation of fats to improve the structure of the resulting fat is less preferred as consumers are increasingly focused on having products that have a more natural origin. Regulatory authorities require that products containing hydrogenated fats are labelled. Incomplete or partial hydrogenation also results in products having increased levels of trans-fatty acids. Trans-fatty acids are considered less desirable in view of health considerations. There is hence also a need for fat blends that have a low content of trans-fatty acids.
  • the structuring fat has such properties that it melts or dissolves at mouth temperature. Otherwise the product may have a heavy and/or waxy mouthfeel.
  • An important indicator is the temperature at which a spread (i.e. a water in oil emulsion) breaks up in the mouth. Preferably this ‘break up temperature’ is below the in-mouth temperature.
  • the overall organoleptic impression should be smooth and preferable no perceivable grains should be present upon ingestion as this may result in what is generally known as a ‘sandy mouthfeel’.
  • Other important aspects of an edible fat-continuous spread are for example hardness, spreadability, storage stability and ability to withstand temperature cycling.
  • Temperature cycling means that the product is subjected to low and high temperatures (e.g. when the consumer takes the product out of the refrigerator and leaves it for some time at the table prior to use). This may have a negative influence on the structure of the spread (like for example destabilization of the emulsion, oil-exudation or crystal growth).
  • edible fat-continuous food products like for example margarines and similar edible fat-continuous spreads are prepared according to known processes that encompass the following steps:
  • a major source of structuring fats is palm oil-based.
  • palm oil high in saturated C16 (C16:0, palmitic acid) or enriched fractions thereof lies under scrutiny in view of the environmental demand that palm oil exerts.
  • C16:0, palmitic acid saturated C16
  • enriched fractions thereof lies under scrutiny in view of the environmental demand that palm oil exerts.
  • palm oil there is a desire to use less palm oil based ingredients and the desire for using other sources of vegetable fats for structuring fats increases. Examples are the use of other plant-based fats like shea.
  • a structuring fat has a high content of saturated fatty acids.
  • Conventional (palm-based) structuring fats or hard stocks have a high saturated content such as in the form of POP (palmitic-oleic-palmitic), PPO (palmitic-palmitic-oleic) or SOS (stearic-oleic-stearic) triglycerides.
  • Structuring fats having a high saturated content suffer from what is known in the art as graininess or sandiness, an unpleasant mouthfeel and appearance. The effect is attributed to the formation of fat crystals. Products that express these effects generally experience a lower consumer acceptance level.
  • the present inventors have set out to develop products comprising triglyceride fats that lead to edible products that meet the above requirements, while at the same time having an increased level of saturation desired for structuring the products and providing stable products that have a good stability and spreadability over time. Based on these fats, structuring fats or hard stock fats can be developed that are suitable for the development of adequate consumers products such as margarines, spreads etc.
  • novel structuring fats can be used in the formulation of fat blends that find application in a variety of consumers products, such as low fat spreads.
  • the fat blends may have a reduced need for structuring fats while maintaining at least structural similarity to conventional (palm-oil and palm oil-derivative containing) products in terms of spreadability and emulsion stability properties.
  • the fat blends containing these structuring fats can also incorporate more liquid oil than conventional (palm-oil and palm oil- derivative containing) products.
  • the fat blends can contain a lower amount of saturated fatty acids compared to conventional (palm-oil and palm oil-derivative containing) products.
  • the inventors have also found that the novel structuring fats and the ensuing application thereof in edible fat containing emulsions leads to products that have an improved mouthfeel and reduced risk of sandiness, graininess and/or waxiness and have an enhanced stability over time.
  • the present inventors have found that newly developed structuring fats containing structuring components having long-chain saturated fatty acids (H), such as S, stearic acid and P, palmitic acid, on the triglyceride backbone in specific amounts and ratios, provide for fat blends and products that meet the above criteria and result in edible fat-containing products such as spreads and margarines.
  • the edible fat-containing products can have improved (lower) level of trans fatty acids, and can be made from non-palm and non- hydrogenated fats and oils.
  • the edible fat-containing products are applied in applications such as spreads and margarines.
  • the fats used in the invention can be characterised by a relative high level of SSS (glyceroltristearate), a high level of stearic acid versus palmitic acid (C18:0/C16;) ratio and/or a melting profile (N-line) in which N20 and N25 are the most relevant parameters.
  • the high level of stearic acid and expressed in these parameters is an indication of a more stable network that stabilises the oil and helps to protect the emulsion network compared to other fat blends.
  • the resulting product expresses an improved cycling stability.
  • Some of the advantages of having these structuring fats and blends thereof available are that lower amounts of structuring fats can be needed and more liquid oil can be used in the preparation of applications for spreads and margarines and the like while stability and spreadability is maintained or improved. This further improves the naturalness of the resulting product, improves nutritional value and also reduces cost, the latter being a relevant factor in this field.

  • Conventionally partially hardened fat typically has as one of its disadvantages a relative high level of trans fat.
  • Conventionally partially hardened fats are made by partial hydrogenation of an oil, typically a highly unsaturated oil.
  • a highly unsaturated oil such as sunflower oil, contains a high amount of unsaturated fatty acids (typically more than 90%), also at the 2-position. Partial hardening through hydrogenation is known to lead to the formation of trans-fatty acids, also at the 2-position.
  • the structuring fat of the invention is obtained by transesterification or glycerolysis with saturated free fatty acids. This avoids trans-fat formation and leads to a fat that has an inherently lower trans-fat level.

  • the solid fat content (SFC) in this description and claims is expressed as N-value, as defined in Fette, Seifen Anstrichstoff 80, 180-186 (1978).
  • the stabilization profile applied is heating to a temperature of 80 degrees Celsius, keeping the oil for at least 10 minutes at 60 degrees Celsius or higher, keeping the oil for 1 hour at 0 degrees Celsius and then 30 minutes at the measuring temperature (tempered).
  • IIIPAC 2.150 method serial, non-tempered.
  • the normal terminology for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is used throughout this method.
  • the parameters D3,3 and exp(o) of a lognormal water droplet size distribution can be determined.
  • the D3,3 is the volume weighted mean droplet diameter and o is the standard deviation of the logarithm of the droplet diameter.
  • a D3,3 ⁇ 6 is acceptable for a low fat spread, but a D3,3 ⁇ 4 is preferred.
  • a e-sigma of ⁇ 3 is desired.
  • a six point scale is used to quantify the quality of fat spread (DIN 10 311):
  • the fat phase and the aqueous phase were mixed and kept at 55-65 degrees Celsius.
  • the mixtures was then passed through a series of scraped surface heat exchangers (A - units) and stirred crystallisers (C-units) at various speeds.
  • the product leaving the last unit had a temperature of below 20 and in some occasions below 5-7 degrees Celsius.
  • the product was filled in tubs or wrappers and stored at 5 degrees Celsius. A stable spread was obtained.
  • Various products were prepared. The results are presented in Table 4.
