Abstract:
An edible spread comprising from 80-5 wt % vegetable fat and 95-20 wt % of an aqueous phase dispersed in the fat, CHARACTERIZED IN THAT;a) the oleic acid content of the fat phase is 45-80 wt % based on the weight of the fat phase,b) the saturated fatty acid content of the fat phase is 5-20 wt % based on the weight of the fat phase,c) the trans fatty acid content of the fat phase is 0-10 wt % based on the weight of the fat phase, and,d) the 18-carbon fatty acid content of the fat phase is 70-100 wt % based on the weight of the fat phase, the fat phase having an N-line as measured by NMR in the area:N.sub.10 =15-20% N.sub.20 =8-11% N.sub.30 =2-4% and N.sub.35 =0-2%, said spread being further characterized by its freedom from animal fat and crystallization defects.
