  • Process for producing fat composition
    Patent number: 6495189
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of producing a fat and oil composition comprising the steps of melting a fat and oil, or emulsion comprising fat and oil, and crystallizing the above-mentioned fat and oil by cooling to produce a fat and oil composition in paste form or plastic form. The molten fat and oil, or emulsion comprising fat and oil, is pressurized under force at a pressure of 10 to 150 MPa during the above-mentioned crystallization in the production of fat and oil compositions such as fat and oil processed foods, etc. As a result the crystallization speed of the fat and oil is markedly increased and post-crystallization can be prevented. Thus, improvement in quality of the fat and oil processed food and improved efficiency of the production process in terms of time and energy is achieved.
