Abstract
Abstract A process, and product produced thereby, for making a normally solid triglyceride mixture of enhanced palatability and an SFI at 100° F. less than 20 from a blend of a normally liquid solvent derived fraction from a high lauric fat, e.g., palm kernel oil, and substantially free of any combined fatty acid portion having a trans configuration, and a stearine fraction derived from a selectively hydrogenated C 16 -C 18 soybean and/or cottonseed oil having from about 20% to 50% of its combined fat forming acids in a trans configuration, and interesterifying or randomizing the blend.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
161 words
A process for making a hard butter of enhanced palatability, having a Wiley Melting Point in the range of 84° to 120° F., and an SFI at 100° F. less than 7 comprising blending first and second solvent derived fat fractions in a weight proportion of 20:80 to 80:20, and rearranging said blend, said first fat fraction being a normally liquid lauric residual fraction from a predominantly C 12 /C 14 high lauric content edible oil substantially free of combined fat-forming acids in a trans configuration, having a lauric content of about 40-55% and a combined lauric and myristic content of about 65-88%, and said second fat fraction being a stearine fraction from an edible selectively hydrogenated and elaidenized preponderantly C 16 /C 18 edible vegetable fat having from about 20-50% of its combined fat forming acids in a trans configuration, said vegetable fat being soybean oil derived, cottonseed oil derived, or blend thereof, hydrogenated to an IV of about 50-70.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
161 words
A process for making a hard butter of enhanced palatability, having a Wiley Melting Point in the range of 84° to 120° F., and an SFI at 100° F. less than 7 comprising blending first and second solvent derived fat fractions in a weight proportion of 20:80 to 80:20, and rearranging said blend, said first fat fraction being a normally liquid lauric residual fraction from a predominantly C 12 /C 14 high lauric content edible oil substantially free of combined fat-forming acids in a trans configuration, having a lauric content of about 40-55% and a combined lauric and myristic content of about 65-88%, and said second fat fraction being a stearine fraction from an edible selectively hydrogenated and elaidenized preponderantly C 16 /C 18 edible vegetable fat having from about 20-50% of its combined fat forming acids in a trans configuration, said vegetable fat being soybean oil derived, cottonseed oil derived, or blend thereof, hydrogenated to an IV of about 50-70.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
A process as defined in claim 1 wherein the high lauric content edible oil is palm kernel oil.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
