OIL-EXPERT.NET IN DETAILS – CRYSTALLIZAT IO N PROPERTIES<br />

<strong>Oil</strong>-<strong>Expert</strong>.<strong>net</strong> – Estimation of crystallization properties<br />

Fats crystallize polymorphously. There are three crystal structures: α, ß and<br />

ß' whereby the ß-phase is the most stable one in the given order.<br />

In order to achieve specific properties, e.g. certain plasticity, it is important to<br />

have the knowledge of the crystal modification of triglycerides. These<br />

properties are dependent on the triglyceride composition. The relationships<br />

are very complex and it require the analysis of triglycerides.<br />

<strong>Oil</strong>-<strong>Expert</strong>.<strong>net</strong> delivery includes triglyceride compositions of all major<br />

components and can perform an assesment of fat blend posr-crystallization<br />

after solidification. This is important for example when assessing the<br />

"sandiness" of margarine blends.<br />

Further calculations with the help of triglycerides will be available in<br />

upcoming updates.<br />
