Abstract
Emulsified spreads, such as margarines, are made from structural fats having double-peaked differential scanning calorimetry curves, one representing triglycerides crystallizing at temperatures of from about 77.degree. F. (25.degree. C.) to about 50.degree. F. (10.degree. C.) and a second representing triglycerides crystallizing at about 41.degree. F. (5.degree. C.) to about 14.degree. F. (-10.degree. C.). The process for forming such spreads involves (1) cooling an emulsion of the structural fat, a soft oil and an aqueous phase to a temperature at or below the nucleation of triglycerides crystallizing at the higher temperature range; (2) working the emulsion; (3) cooling the worked emulsion to the nucleation point of the triglycerides crystallizing at the lower temperature range; and (4) working the emulsion a second time.
