Abstract
Abstract A hard butter for confectionery use has an Iodine Value of at most 20, a maximum slip melting point of about 45° C., a dilatation at 20° C. of at least 900 and the combined fatty acid composition in random distribution of a blend of a lauric fat with a smaller amount of a non-lauric, C 16 -C 18 edible fat. Preferably the fats are coconut oil and a stearine of a palmitic fat i.e. a palm fat or cottonseed oil having an Iodine Value from 5 to 40.

A confectionery fat having a slip melting point up to about 45° C., a maximum Iodine Value of about 20 and a minimum dilatation at 20° C. of about 900 comprising a randomly rearranged mixture of a lauric fat selected from the group consisting of palm kernel, coconut and coconut-paring oil and from at least 15% to less than 50% of a stearine fraction having an Iodine Value from 5 to 50 and a slip melting point from 40° to 60° C. obtained from a fat selected from the group consisting of palm and cottonseed oils and their hydrogenated derivatives.
