  • PEANUT BUTTER HAVING A NON-HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL BASED HIGH DIGLYCERIDE EMULSIFIER
    Publication number: 20070148314
    Abstract: A mono-, di-, and triglyceride stabilizer is provided that is especially adapted for stabilizing nut butters such as peanut butter to prevent separation of the oil portion of the butter from the solids portion while retaining the glossy appearance of the product. The stabilizer is obtained by interesterification or glycerolysis of triglycerides with glycerol. The diglyceride portion w/w of the stabilizer is greater than 60%, and most preferably about 65%. Preferably about 1% to about 4% w/w of the stabilizer is added to the nut butter.
