Zusammenfassung: | The present invention relates to intermediate melting sucrose fatty acid ester compositions that are capable of rapid crystallization from a melted state. The compositions comprise 60% to 97% by weight intermediate melting sucrose fatty acid esters and 3% to 40% hardstock triglycerides or hardstock polyol fatty acid esters. Preferably the average fatty acid chain length of the hardstock material fatty acids is not less than the average fatty acid chain length of the intermediate melting sucrose ester fatty acids. The sucrose fatty acid esters are characterized by their rheology, liquid/solid stability, iodine value, and solids at body temperature. Rapid crystallization of the esters is useful in preventing anal leakage, and it could also translate into a reduction of post-hardening in shortenings and margarines, and into improved high temperature stability and temperature cycling stability as may be encountered during distribution of these products to the end user. |
