  • Why is palm oil used in margarine?
  • As palm oil is naturally semi-solid and trans-fat free, it has become the preferred fat in margarine production in many countries. Its semi-solid content is primarily contributed by equal quantities of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids – 50/50 to be exact.
  • Can melon & palm kernel oil make margarine?
  • The potential of margarine p roduction from blends of melon and palm kernel oil was studied. Margarine samples were produced from composite oils containing 10 0:0, 80:20 and 70:30 melon seed oil and palm kernel oil, respectively. The physico-chemical composition, proximate properties and sensory evaluation were determined using standar d methods.
  • What makes a good margarine?
  • This attribute is crucial in ensuring good crystallisation which is the process of solidifying liquid into the form of crystals. A blend of palm oil and its fractions such as palm stearin and palm kernel olein, is good for stable crystallisation which provides the desired solid fat content profile to make margarine.
  • What is margarine made from?
  • Blends Formulation. Proximate Composition of Margarine Produced from Blends of Egusi Melon Seed and Palm Kernel Oils. Content may be subject to copyright. Content may be subject to copyright. Aondoakaa Philip Ityotagher, Chihichan T erhile. Production and Quality Evaluation of Margarine from Blends of Melon and Palm Kernel Oils.
  • What is the process of making margarine?
  • The process of making margarine refers to the modified procedure used by [3, 8]. The process of margarine production was divided into two phases; the oil phase and the water phase. ... ... Iodine value is an indicator of double bonding in the molecular structure, which influences the long-term stability properties of the oil.
  • What fatty acid is found in palm oil?
  • The major fatty acid found in palm oil is palmitic acid and this enables palm-based margarines to form good aeration of fat and sugar mixtures – an attribute particularly ideal for making bakery margarines. Its fraction, palm kernel oil, is a suitable raw material for cake-making as it provides great creaming properties 4.
