Butter hardness

Refined de-oiled lecithin can also be blended with carriers such as cocoa butter, hard butters, medium-chain triglycerides, or other diluents to obtain products with more functionality and different physical characteristics. Up to 40% phospholipids may be incorporated in these carriers without the use of solvents. These products are usually stabilized against autoxidation by the addition of antioxidants (33). De-oiled lecithin should be packaged as soon as possible to prevent moisture... 

Blending. Blends of vegetable oils and milk fat offer an obvious solution to the problem of butter hardness - any desired hardness values can be obtained. Such products were introduced in the 1960 s and are now used widely in many countries. These products may be produced by blending an... 

Fats can be hard and brittle substances (cocoa butter), hard substance (beef tallow), gooey soHds (pork lard, pahn oil) and viscous Hquids (vegetable oils). The melting and soHdihcation points of some fats are Hsted in Table 3.27. The range of values is mainly related to the variabihty of the composition of fatty acids and triacylglycerols. 

It IS hard to find a class of compounds in which the common names of its members have influenced organic nomenclature more than carboxylic acids Not only are the common names of carboxylic acids themselves abundant and widely used but the names of many other compounds are derived from them Benzene took its name from benzoic acid and propane from propionic acid not the other way around The name butane comes from butyric acid present m rancid butter The common names of most aldehydes are derived from the common names of carboxylic acids—valeraldehyde from valeric acid for exam pie Many carboxylic acids are better known by common names than by their systematic ones and the framers of the lUPAC rules have taken a liberal view toward accepting these common names as permissible alternatives to the systematic ones Table 19 1 lists both common and systematic names for a number of important carboxylic acids... 

The boric and sulfuric acids are recycled to a HBF solution by reaction with CaF2. As a strong acid, fluoroboric acid is frequently used as an acid catalyst, eg, in synthesizing mixed polyol esters (29). This process provides an inexpensive route to confectioner s hard-butter compositions which are substitutes for cocoa butter in chocolate candies (see Chocolate and cocoa). Epichlorohydrin is polymerized in the presence of HBF for eventual conversion to polyglycidyl ethers (30) (see Chlorohydrins). A more concentrated solution, 61—71% HBF, catalyzes the addition of CO and water to olefins under pressure to form neo acids (31) (see Carboxylic acids). 

The combination of ground cocoa beans and sugar produces a very hard substance with an unpleasant mouthfeel. However, the addition of extra cocoa butter results in a product that melts easily in the mouth. Additionally, the production of cocoa butter results in a lower fat cocoa powder which can be used more readily in both beverages and foods. As the amounts of cocoa butter and other fats, milk solids, sugar, and other ingredients increase, the amount of theobromine and caffeine in the final product decreases. 

Initially, the dairy industry was interested in making a product that would spread straight from the refrigerator to compete with soft margarine. The excess of the hard fraction would either have to be mixed into the rest of the butter or sold as an extra hard butter. 

Approximately 75% of all elements found on and in the Earth are metals. They are crystalline solids that at room temperature range from hard to butter-like soft to liquid (mercury). They are generally good conductors of heat and electricity as a result of the swarm of relatively free electrons in their outer shell that move without much resistance to other elements, particularly those with a dearth of electrons in their outer shells. In pure states, most metals have a shiny luster when cut. Those located at the far left of the table have only one electron in their outer shell. Therefore, they are very reactive and are not usually found in pure form. Instead, they are found in compounds, minerals, or ores that must be processed to extract the pure metal from the other elements in the compounds. 

Gupuacu is an Amazonian forest tree from Para state, Brazil. The fruits are 15-25 cm in length, 10-12 cm in diameter, and weigh between 0.8 and 2 kg. They are oblong fruits with a hard skin. The seeds contain caffeine and theobromine, alkaloids with stimulant properties. The seeds contain about 48% of a white fat similar to cocoa butter. The creamy-white pulp has an attractive and characteristic aroma and flavour. The fruits are consumed mainly as juice. 

It affects the melting point and hardness of the fat, which can be reduced by randomizing the fatty acid distribution. Transesterification can be performed by treatment with SnCl2 or enzymatically under certain conditions increasing attention is being focused on the latter as an acceptable means of modifying the hardness of butter.

Peanut butter has more protein per gram than a hard-boiled egg, and yet the egg represents a better source of protein. Why ... 

Both hard boiled and fried eggs have on average one or fewer contaminants. Scrambled eggs, however, have on average 2.1 contaminants. Obviously, how these eggs were prepared (i.e., use of butter or margarine) influenced the number of chemicals detected.

These peanut butter cookies have tons of personality and satisfy all the taste buds—making it hard to just eat one. Mfhenlwasgrowingup, my grandma and I always made them together. They are thin, crisp-edged cookies with a chewy center, and they re sprinkled with chopped peanuts and a pinch ofsalt to ensure that each bite has the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and peanuty. I like to use fancy black salt on top that I find at Trader foe s to give these cookies a super-chic touch.
