  • High melting point sunflower fat for confectionary
    Patent number: 9072309
    Abstract: The present invention is based on the finding that stearin fats, obtainable by dry or solvent fractionation of sunflower high-stearic and high-oleic oils, optionally with seeding with tempered stearin crystals, have a high solid fat content at temperatures higher than 30° C., even higher than cocoa butter or other high saturated tropical fats with a similar disaturated triacylglycerol content due to the presence of disaturated triacylgiycerols rich in stearic acid, and improved melting point due to the presence of arachidic and behenic acids in these disaturated triacylgiycerols, being at the same time healthier that actual fats made from palm, palm kernel and coconut oils, or hydrogenated and trasesterified vegetable oils.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 21, 2010
    Date of Patent: July 7, 2015
    Assignee: Consejo Superior De Investigaciones Cientificas (CSIC)

  • Liquid and stable olein fractions
    Patent number: 8460736
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a stable and liquid olein fraction wherein less than 8.6% of the TAG species of said olein fraction have the general formula SMS and at least 26% of TAG species of said olein fraction have the general formula SMM, wherein S represents a saturated fatty acid and M represents a monoenoic fatty acid, which olein fraction is obtainable by fractionation of a high oleic high saturated sunflower oil; and collecting the liquid fraction. The invention further relates to a method for preparation of a stable and liquid olein fraction by low temperature fractionation of a high oleic, high saturated sunflower oil.
