IPC: A23D9/013
Filed: 1962-05-03
Abstract: A glyceride shortening contains by weight of the composition (a) as an emulsifier, 1.5-16% of one or more of (i) a 1,3-diglyceride containing a saturated C16- 22-fatty acid chain and a saturated C2- 4-fatty acid chain; (ii) a 1,2-diglyceride containing a saturated C16- 22-fatty acid chain and a saturated C12- 18-fatty acid chain; and (iii) mixtures of (a) (i) and a 1,2-diglyceride containing a saturated C16- 22-fatty acid chain and a saturated C2- 4-fatty acid chain and in which the weight of such 1,2-diglyceride does not substantially exceed the weight of (a) (i) present; and (b) as a high temperature batter stabilizer, 0.25-4% of one or more of (i) saturated C14- 22-fatty acids; (ii) the condensate of (1) a partial glyceride having an average of 1-2 C14- 22-fatty acid radicals in which the degree of unsaturation is such that the final condensate has an iodine value not above 60; and/or (2) a monoester of a saturated C14- 22-fatty acid with a C3- 5-straight chain aliphatic diol, with a C3- 6-polycarboxylic acid having 0-4 hydroxy groups; (iii) the condensate of a saturated C14- 22-fatty acid with a C3- 6 polycarboxylic acid having 1-4 hydroxy groups; and (iv) the condensate of a saturated straight chain C14- 22-fatty alcohol with a C3- 6-dicarboxylic acid having no hydroxyl groups, condensates (b) (ii), (iii) and (iv) all having at least one free carboxyl group per molecule.  The composition may also contain either or both of the isomeric 1,2-diglycerides containing a saturated C16- 22-fatty acid chain and a C2- 4-fatty acid chain, providing that the amount present does not substantially exceed the amount of 1,3-diglyceride (a) (i) present.  Many suitable emulsifiers (a) and stabilizers (b) are listed, and the composition preferably also includes 0.25% up to the limit of solubility of propylene glycol distearate.  The base may consist of any suitable triglyceride oil, preferably cottonseed oil, or a plastic base.  Such shortenings are especially suitable for use in baking cakes (see Division A1). Specifications 425,980, 425,981, 425,982, 454,566, 816,343 and 816,344, are referred to.ALSO:White cakes, yellow cakes, spice cakes, chocolate cakes and all types of layer and other cakes, having good volume are prepared from a basic mix comprising 95g. cake flour, 133g. sugar, 1.5g. salt, 120g. milk, 5.78g. baking powder, 60g. egg white, 2.5g. vanilla extract and 50g. of a glyceride shortening base by weight of the shortening composition (a) as an emulsifier, 1.5-16% of one or more of (i) a 1,3-di-glyercide containing a saturated C16-22-fatty acid chain and a saturated C2-4-fatty acid chain, (ii) a 1,2-diglyceride containing a saturated C16-22-fatty acid chain and a saturated C12-18-fatty acid chain, and (iii) mixtures of (a) (i) and a 1,2-diglyceride containing a saturated C16-22-fatty acid chain, a saturated C2-4 fatty acid chain and in which the weight of such 1, 2-diglyceride does not substantially exceed the weight of (a) (i) present, and (b) as an high temperature batter stabilizer, 0.25-4% of one or more of (i) saturated C14-22-fatty acids, (ii) the condensate of (1) a partial glyceride having an average of 1-2 C14-22-fatty acid radicals in which the degree of unsaturation is such that the final condensate has an iodine value not above 60, and/or (2) a monoester of a saturated C14-22-fatty acid with a C3-5-straight chain aliphatic diol, with a C3-6-polycarboxylic acid having 0-4 hydroxy groups, (iii) the condensate of a saturated C14-22-fatty acid with a C3-6-polycarboxylic acid having 1-4 hydroxy groups, and (iv) the condensate of a saturated straight chain C14-22-fatty alcohol with a C3-6-di-carboxylic acid having no hydroxy groups, condensates (b) (ii), (iii) and (iv) all having at least one free carboxyl group per molecule (see Division C4).  Specifications 425,980, 425,981, 425,982, 454,566, 816,343, 816,344 are referred to.
