Abstract
The invention relates to improved fat compositions and emulsified food spreads, e.g. margarines prepared therefrom, as well as to processes for their preparation. The fat composition comprises a liquid vegetable oil of a high polyunsaturated fatty acid content on the one hand, e.g. sunflower and safflower oil, and a specific hardstock on the other hand. The hardstock should at least contain a bottom fraction of a substantially saturated hard fat, i.e. a fraction obtained by removing the higher melting constituents of a hard fat, preferably a hard fat which prior to fractionation had been interesterified. As compared with prior art products of a similar polyunsaturated fatty acid content, the fat compositions are harder and moreover after production they very much faster increase in hardness.
