Physical Properties of Structured Fats and Fat Blends Based on the Long Chain Fatty Acids

Enzymatic and chemical interesterification was used in preparation of structured fats without trans fatty acids. Structured fats were based on fatty acids which are not cholesterol-raising (stearic, behenic, arachidic and oleic acid). Blends of high oleic sunflower oil and fully hydrogenated erucic rapeseed oil, with molar ratio of long unsaturated fatty acids (LUFA, mainly oleic acid) to long saturated fatty acid (LSFA, mainlystearic, arachidic...
