Liquid vegetable oils (VO), including cottonseed, peanut, soybean, corn, and canola, were randomly interesterified with completely hydrogenated soybean or cottonseed hardstocks (vegetable oil trisaturate; VOTS) in ratios of 4 parts VO and 1 part VOTS. Analysis of the reaction products by HPLC showed that at 70°C, with vigorous agitation and a 0.5% sodium methoxide catalyst, reactions were complete after 15 min. Solid-fat index (SFI) measurements made at 50, 70, 80, 92, and 104°F, along with drop m.p., indicated that the interesterified fats possess plasticity curves in the range of commercial soft tub margarine oils prepared by blending hydrogenated stocks. Shortening basestocks were prepared by randomly interesterifying palm or soybean oil with VOTS in ratios of 1:1, 3:1 or 4:1. Blending of the interesterified basestocks with additional liquid VO yielded products having SFI curves very similar to commercial all purpose-type shortening oils made by blending hydrogenated stocks. Results show that fluid-type shortening oils can be prepared through blending of interesterified basestocks with liquid VO. X-ray diffraction studies showed that the desirable β′ crystal structure is achieved through interesterification and blending.
