Title:
FRACTIONATION OF BUTTER FAT
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2000166469
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To fractionate butter fat into a stearin fraction and an olein fraction in a short period of time by mixing the butter fat with hexane, etc., in a specific weight ratio, heating and then cooling the obtained mixture for crystallization at a specific temperature.
This method for fractionating butter fat is to fractionate the butter fat into a stearin fraction and an olein fraction by mixing the butter fat with hexane or acetone in (1:1)-(1:10) weight ratio and cooling the mixture at 0 to -10°C for crystallization. It is preferable to have ≥38°C elevating melting point, ≥50 wt.% solid fat content at 20°C and ≥35 wt.% solid fat content at 30°C of the stearin fraction. By using the above stearin fraction, it is preferable to obtain margarine.
