  • Spread having butter-like properties
    Patent number: 4536411
    Abstract: An edible, emulsion spread is produced from a fat constituting the continuous phase of the emulsion and a cream constituting the dispersed phase of the emulsion, wherein the cream contains a fat having a higher melting point than the continuous fat. The emulsion is texturized, reheated and recirculated.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 21, 1983

  • Spreadable water-in-oil emulsion based on a high-melting butterfat fraction and a liquid oil
    Patent number: 4438149
    Abstract: The invention relates to a spreadable water-in-oil emulsion based on a high melting butterfat fraction and a liquid oil which is substantially free of solid fat crystals at 10.degree. C. and to a process for producing said emulsion. The use of a high melting butter stearin fraction obtained by dry fractionation at 15.degree.-30.degree. C., as one of the fat components of the fatty phase of the emulsion enables the incorporation of up to 80% of liquid oil, preferably an oil having a relatively high level of polyunsaturated fatty acids.

    Inventors: Laurentius A. M. Verhagen, Janos Bodor
  • Low-calorie spread based on a low-melting butterfat fraction
    Patent number: 4436760
    Abstract: The invention relates to a low-calorie spread based on a low-melting butterfat fraction, which has an improved spreadability at 10.degree. C. as compared with low-calorie butter. The low-melting butterfat fraction is an olein preferably obtained by dry fractionation of butterfat within the temperature range of 20.degree.-30.degree. C.
