In the present study, we investigated the effect of long-acyl chain SFA, namely palmitic acid (16:0) and stearic acid (18:0), at sn-1, 3 positions of TAG on obesity. Throughout the 15 weeks of the experimental period, C57BL/6 mice were fed diets fortified with cocoa butter, sal stearin (SAL), palm mid fraction (PMF) and high-oleic sunflower oil (HOS). The sn-1, 3 positions were varied by 16:0, ...

Three types of palm fats (PF) to be incorporated into meat batters were prepared from palm oil (PO) and palm stearin (POs) with the ratio ofPO.POs at 60:40, 70:30 and 80:20 (wt/wt). The slip melting point (SMP), iodine value (IV) and solid fat content (SFC) ofPF were measured. Eight formulations of frankfurters were then produced using PF60:40, PF70:30, PF80:20 and palm olein (POo) at 20% and 2...

Palm stearin (POs) is a good choice for trans-free hard stock. POs with various iodine values (IV) have distinct solid fat content (SFC) profiles useful in soft margarine formulation. Palm kernel oil (PKO) maintains the margarine with high consistency at low temperatures, but the margarine is soft at serving temperature. The study revealed that formulation work either using bulk oils and fats (...

Oil in water emulsions of several vegetable oils were studied in order to prepare a useful lubrication fluid. Several previously uncharacterized systems were studied in this paper, including those made from epoxidized vegetable oils. A series of different surfactants were studied in order to obtain emulsions suitable for lubrication applications. The epoxidized oils were found to form stable oi...
