MODIFICATION OF FAT AND OIL


Oils and Fats in Food Industry

⚫ Bakery Fats
⚫ Shortenings
⚫ Frying Fats
⚫ Cocoa Butter Equivalents/Replacers
Types of Oils and Fats

⚫ Oleic – Linoleic Acid Oils


 Olive oil

 Sunflower oil

 Cottonseed oil

 Corn oil

 Peanut oil

 Sesame oil

 Hazelnut oil
Fat Modification Techniques

⚫ Hydrogenation : To treat oil with H2 and catalyst to decrease double bonds and
increase saturated bonds.

⚫ Reaction Result
 Saturation of double bonds
 Migration of double
 bonds
Trans-fatty acid formation
⚫ Advantages of Hydrogenation
 Making fat suitable for manufacture of margarine,
shortening, coating fats, cooking oil and salad dressing
oil.

(Trans Fatty acid)
Public Health and Trans Fatty Acids

⚫ Trans fats can contribute to obesity, high blood pressure, and a


greater risk for heart diseases.

⚫ Trans fats raise your bad (LDL) cholesterol levels and lower your good
(HDL) cholesterol levels.
⚫ Consuming trans fats increases your risk of developing heart disease
and stroke.
⚫ It’s also associated with a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes
(American Hearth Association).
PALM OIL BASED SOLUTIONS

Palm oil serves considerable alternatives to food


industry due to its unique composition consisting of
balanced amounts of SAFA ans USFA.

⚫ Fractional Crystallization
 The fractionation process is carried out in two stages: firstly, a

crystallisation stage; secondly, a separation stage.


⚫ Types of Crystallization
 Solvent fractionization

 Dry fractionization
Fractional Crystallization of Palm oil
Alternative Techniques for Fat Modification

⚫ Interesterification
 Acyl migration occurs between triglicerydes.
 High temperature catalysts:KOH and NaOH
 Low temperature catalysts: Sodium Methoxide (NaOCH3)

Crystal Structure of Margarine
Remarks for Frying Fat Blends

⚫ Oxidative stability
 High temperature application for long periods of time cause thermal

degradation and oxidation reactions.


⚫ Low oil uptake
 Fat viscosity is directly related to oil uptake.

⚫ Hydrolysis (FFA increase)


 Thermal degradation cause hydrolysis reaction accelerated with water

content that is consequently transferred from food during frying.


CONCLUSIONS

⚫ Food industry needs excessive amounts of modified fats having


various melting characteristics.
⚫ Partial hydrogenation results in trans fatty acids which is not accepted
by the consumer.
⚫ Palm oil serves alternative solutions for production of margarine and
other tailor made fats with no trans fatty acids.
⚫ Fractions of palm oil can be used for multiple purposes including
frying fats, margarines, CBEs CBSs, etc.
⚫ Interesterification including palm oil fractions is a widely used way for
soft margarines due to good crystallisation properties of palm oil
triglycerides.
