Abstract
Abstract The invention is concerned with a fat blend that is suitable for the preparation of refrigerator-type margarines and low fat spreads. The fat blend contains at least 35% by weight of a randomly interesterified mixture of 20-80 parts by weight of an oil liquid at refrigerator temperature and 80-20 parts by weight of an oil that is rich in lauric acid residues. Preferably the fat blend contains up to 80% of said interesterified mixture. Furthermore, oils liquid at refrigerator temperature, oils of a melting point of 20°-35° C., e.g. 20-50%, and fats of a melting point of 40°-45° C., e.g. 5-20%, may be present.
