Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate microencapsulation palm oil fractions (palm olein (POL) and 90% olein+10% stearin (POS)) using skim milk powder (SMP) maltodextrin (MD) by spray drying. Twenty-seven emulsions with POL were prepared determine appropriate solid content (SC) oil/coating material ratio (O/CM) the be fed into dryer. Emulsion properties, such as viscosity stability, ...

Inter-esterification is one of the processes used to modify the physico-chemical characteristics of oils and fats. Inter-esterification is an acyl-rearrangement reaction on the glycerol molecule. On the other hand, hydrogenation involves addition of hydrogen to the double bonds of unsaturated fatty acids. Due to health implications of trans fatty acids, which are formed during hydrogenation, th...

Solvent fractionation of high oleic-high stearic (HOHS) sunflower oil was studied to determine the best solvent to use (hexane or acetone) in terms of the operational parameters and properties of the final stearins. Acetone fractionation on two types of HOHS sunflower oils (N17 and N20) was carried out at temperatures from 5 to 10 °C using micelles with different oil/solvent ratios. Acetone was...
