Abstract:
A fat continuous low fat spread which comprises: INGREDIENT %  Oil blend mixture of liquid oil 20-50 and hard stock (partially hydrogenated, fully hydrogenated, interesterified and fractionated oils) Distilled monoglyceride IV = 5 0.05-0.5 Distilled monoglyceride IV = 60 0.05-0.5 Poly glycerol esters of fatty 0.05-1.0 acids HLB 3-4 Lecithin 0.05-0.5 Sodium alginate 0.1-3 Water, salt, preservatives, Make up to flavorings, and colorings 100  which is made by(a) preparing a fat phase comprising a fat blend and an emulsifier or combination of emulsifiers that results in an oil-in-water emulsion at greater than 40.degree. C.;(b) heating said oil-in-water emulsion to 40.degree. to 65.degree. C.;(c) transferring said oil-in-water emulsion at about 40.degree. to about 65.degree. C. to an inverter unit and running at a speed resulting in inversion of the emulsion;(d) transferring the resulting water-in-oil emulsion to one or more heat exchangers to cool the water-in-oil emulsion to 5.degree. to 25.degree. C.; and(e) transferring the resulting composition to a crystallizing unit, to obtain a spread of a consistency to pack in a tub, or form into a stick.
