Abstract
The present invention addresses the problem of providing a water-in-oil emulsified composition having improved workability in a freezing range. This water-in-oil emulsified composition contains, as constituent fatty acids, 7-29 wt % of lauric acid and 7-19 wt % of palmitic acid, the weight ratio of stearic acid/lauric acid being 0.1-1.6, and has a hardness of 500-1500 gf at −18° C. The water-in-oil emulsified composition according to the present invention, when delivered or stored in a frozen state, can be directly and easily cut into pieces in any shape without requiring an operation such as thawing or temperature adjustment.
Claims3
A water-in-oil emulsified composition, comprising:
- 10-35 wt % of a water phase with respect to 100 wt % of the water-in-oil emulsified composition;
- and
- an oil phase;
- wherein the water-in-oil emulsified composition comprises:
- 27-60 wt % of a liquid-form oil with respect to 100 wt % of the water-in-oil emulsified composition;
- and
- a total content of 15-49 wt % of a palm kernel stearin, and/or a transesterified oil containing lauric acid as a constituent fatty acid with respect to 100 wt % of the water-in-oil emulsified composition,
- wherein the liquid-form oil is one or more selected from the group consisting of canola oil, soybean oil, corn oil, sunflower oil, rice bran oil, cottonseed oil, and safflower oil,
- the transesterified oil contains, as constituent fatty acids, 5-25 wt % of lauric acid, 5-25 wt % of palmitic acid and 10-35 wt % of stearic acid, a weight ratio of stearic acid/palmitic acid being 0.5-7, and
- wherein the water-in-oil emulsified composition contains, as constituent fatty acids, 7-19 wt % of palmitic acid and 7-29 wt % of lauric acid, and a weight ratio of stearic acid/lauric acid being 0.1-1.6,
- wherein the water-in-oil emulsified composition has a hardness of 500-1500 gf at −18° C. as measured with a rheometer using a plunger diameter of 3 mm and an intrusion rate of 5 cm/min.
