In general, the greater the solids content, the firmer the fat. It has been estimated that plastic commercial fats, at workable temperatures, increase in either firmness or viscosity by about 10% with each increment of crystals. Number, size, and kind of crystals. At a given solids content, a large number of small crystals produces a harder fat than does a small number of large crystals. Larger, soft crystals are typically produced by slow cooling. Crystals composed of highmelting acylglycerols provide greater stiffening power than do those of lower melting acylglycerols. Lipids 21 Lipids – functional properties Fat consistency Viscosity of the liquid. Oils differ in viscosity at a given temperature and this will influence viscosity of the melt, as well as consistency of a solidliquid lipid mixture. Temperature treatment. If a fat tends to supercool excessively, this can be overcome by melting the crystalline fat at the lowest possible temperature, holding it for an extended period of time at a temperature just above its melting point, and then cooling it. This facilitates formation of numerous crystal nuclei, numerous small crystals, and a firm consistency. Mechanical working. Crystallized fats are generally thixotropic; that is, they become reversibly softer after vigorous agitation and only gradually regain their original firmness. If a melted fat is mechanically agitated during solidification, it will be much softer than if allowed to solidify in a static condition. In the static state the growing crystals form structures of relatively great strength. These structures can be deformed by mechanical working. Lipids 19 Lipids – functional properties Fat consistency Plasticity of the fats – determined by the proportion of the solids and liquid phase; interval of melting; The cocoa butter has large amount of similar triacylglycerols – narrow range of melting; Lipids 22 Lipids – functional properties Mesomorphic states – liquid crystals (b) and (c) - emulsions Lipids Lipids – functional properties Emulsions and emulsifiers Amylose – emulsifier complex; prevention of bread ageing and lost of softness 23
