feel and a good melt-down in the mouth.
Normally flavour is added not only to the fat phase
but also to the aqueous phase.
Low fat products, such as 60% spreadable butter blend,
should exhibit similar characteristics as full fat products. Solid fat content in %
However, usually low fat spreads are more unstable due
10°C 34.0
to the lower content of fat. Starches and hydrocolloids 20°C 13.0
can be used as fat replacement but is not required. 30°C 3.0
The consumption of reduced and low fat products has 40°C 0.0

and ingredients in order to achieve better low fat Melting point
products. Approximately 28-30°C
Processing
• The ingredients for the aqueous phase are mixed and heated according to the specification of the stabilizer
used.
• The ingredients for the fat phase is melted under agitation, typically the highest melting fats are added first
and liquid oil last. The fat phase is then tempered to approximately 5-8°C higher than the melting point of the
fat phase.
• Emulsifiers, which are mixed into liquid oil in the proportion 1:5, are heated and melted at a temperature
approx. 5-8°C higher than the melting point of the emulsifiers, and added to the fat phase.
• Flavour and colours are added according to solubility.
• The aqueous phase is added under agitation to the fat phase.
• The complete emulsion is pasteurised which typically involve heating to 75-80°C for 15-20 sec and cooling to
45-50°C or 5-8°C higher than the melting point of the fat phase.
• The emulsion is crystalIised according to the flow diagram below.
• The 60% spreadable butter blend is stored at refrigerator temperature.
