“…The optimal functional, and by implication, physical properties required of margarine and spreadable fats are spreadability, plasticity and consistency (de Man, 1983;de Man et al, 1992;Bot et al, 2003;Chrysan, 2005). Stabilisation of water droplets against coalescence and water-oil separation is also very important (Rousseau and Hodge, 2005;Ghosh and Rousseau, 2009;Rousseau et al, 2009). For this reason, semisolid fats are to be preferred, with optimal SFC values of 50%-60% at around 5 • C, which gradually decrease with increasing temperature, until complete melt at about 38 • C. Furthermore, special texture and spreadability are needed for margarine for industrial uses, such as the roll-in type used in bakeries.…”
