Process and plant for obtaining a fat product entirely comparable to butter

Abstract

Abstract 1. Process for obtaining a fatty product entirely comparable to butter, from a mixture of cream of milk and at least one plant fatty substance, the said process comprising mixing, homogenization and pasteurization stages before crystallization, the crystallized mixture being subsequently converted by butyrification to the required fatty product, the said process being characterized in that the cream and the plant fatty substance are first mixed hat at a temperature which permits the mixing but is lower than the pasteurization temperature, in that the mixture heated to the said temperature is homogenized by being subjected to a pressure of 10 to 20 bars capable of reducing the fatty globules of the components of the mixture to a size of the order of 3 to 20 mu m while ensuring an intimate coupling of the globules of each of the components, in that the mixture is pasteurized, in that it is then continuously crystallized and inthat the crystallized mixture is converted to the required fatty product by churning or known and usual conditions for the manufacture of butter.
