Abstract
Esterified propoxylated glycerine (“EPG”) may replace up to 100% of the partially hydrogenated vegetable oil content of an edible shortening product to produce a stable emulsion containing less trans-fatty acid content. A variety of shortenings may be produced, including those used for baking, frying, and as pan coatings (release agents). A butter-like product may be produced which exhibits spreading characteristics very similar to real butter.
