Abstract
An enriched, hydrogenated peanut oil-based peanut butter stabilizer and a method of preparing said peanut butter stabilizer comprising the steps of: (a) randomly interesterifying (randomizing) a first mixture of from 0% to 70% hydrogenated peanut oil (hardstock) and from 30% to 100% unhydrogenated peanut oil, preferably 30% to 70% hydrogenated peanut oil and 30% to 70% unhydrogenated peanut oil; (b) fractionally crystallizing from said first mixture a second mixture of triglycerides having at least 10% fatty acids having from 20 to 24 carbon atoms; and (c) substantially completely hydrogenating said second mixture to form said enriched hydrogenated peanut oil-based peanut butter stabilizer.

A method of preparing an enriched, hydrogenated peanut-oil based peanut butter stabilizer comprising the steps of:
- (a) randomly interesterifying (randomizing) a first mixture of from about 0% to about 70% hydrogenated peanut oil (hardstock) and from about 30% to about 100% unhydrogenated peanut oil;
- (b) fractionally crystallizing from the randomly interesterified first mixture a second mixture of triglycerides having at least 10% long chain fatty acids having from 20 to 24 carbon atoms;
- and
- (c) substantially completely hydrogenating said second mixture to an iodine value less than about 8 to form said enriched hydrogenated peanut oil-based peanut butter stabilizer.
