  • Low-palmitic, reduced-trans margarines and shortenings
    Patent number: 5407695
    Abstract: Margarines and shortenings are improved by employing a blend of 75 to 25% of an edible oil as a liquid oil component, and, as a hardstock component, 25 to 75% of a substantially fully hydrogenated oil bearing C.sub.16 to C.sub.24 acid residues, wherein at least about 15% of the C.sub.16 acid residues in the hydrogenated oil are replaced by the short acids acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid or a mixture of any of these acids. The levels of transunsaturated fatty acids and palmitic acid are reduced, and the products also have reduced caloric densities.
