Patent ID: 8741372

Claim:
A process, comprising: producing a trans-fat isomers free fat base comprising: fractioning palm oil to obtain a palm stearine with an iodine value between 35 and 42; blending 70 and 80% of the palm stearine and 20 to 30% palm kernel oil and/or palm kernel liquid fractions to form a first blended product; performing a chemical interesterification on the first blended product using sodium methoxide sufficiently so as to: redistribute fatty acids in the first blended product in a random form, modify: (i) a solids curve of the first blended product, (ii) a fusion point of the first blended product and (iii) crystallization properties of the first blended product, and form an interesterified product; blending the interesterified product with fractions from palm oil or hydrogenated or non-hydrogenated palm kernel oil sufficiently so as to result in a second blended product containing: i) 4 to 20% lauric acid C12:0, ii) 30 to 50% palmitic acid C16:0, iii) 4 to 10% of stearic acid C18:0, iv) 20 to 40% of oleic acid C18:1, and v) a remainder of other fatty acids C4:0 to C22:0; and adding emulsifiers to the second blended product to form the trans-fat isomers free fat base.
