Zusammenfassung:A high solids distilled monoglyceride hydrate composition for use as a food additive is disclosed along with a process for preparing the same wherein the product may be supplied to users at solids levels not heretofore practical because the monoglyceride compositions did not retain their functionality at those high solids levels. A finely beaded, particulate monoglyceride composition having an iodine value of from about 5 to about 32 is stirred with water at a temperature below the melting point of the monoglyceride composition to form a paste. The amount of water introduced is correlated with the quantity of monoglyceride composition to cause the final product to have from about 40% to about 60% by weight of solids with about 56% being preferred. The resulting product is just as functional in additive applications such as yeast leavened wheat flour based foods as lower solids levels monoglyceride hydrates. As a consequence, the distilled monoglyceride hydrate product is less costly for the consumer by virtue of significantly lower shipping costs in relationship to functional results obtained and less product for bakers to weigh and inventory.
