Patent ID: 7947323

Claim:
A process for the production of a non-temper fat composition which comprises subjecting a starting fat composition to catalytic hydrogenation in the presence of a nickel, platinum, or palladium based hydrogenation catalyst to a temperature ranging from 160-225° C. until a first fat having a trans fatty acid content of less than 15 wt. % and an increase of C18-0 of less than 1 wt. % is obtained, said first fat being incorporated in the fat composition, wherein said fat composition is a non-temper confectionery fat or bakery fat, and wherein said starting fat composition contains palm oil or a palm oil fraction and has the following composition (a) a glyceride composition with a S 2 U content between 47 and 75 wt. %, a SU 2 +U 3 content <40 wt. %, a S 3 content between 1 and 15 wt. %, a diglyceride content of 3 to 12 wt. %, the glyceride contents being expressed as wt. % with respect to the total amount of di-and triglycerides in which S means a saturated fatty acid with a hydrocarbon chain length of 14-24 carbon atoms and U means unsaturated fatty acid with a hydrocarbon chain length of 14-24 carbon atoms; and (b) a total content of unsaturated fatty acids of less than 55 wt. %.
