Vegetable Butters
Natural Sources, Natural Fats
Vegetable Butters are natural fats with a high symmetrical monounsaturated triglyceride content. They are solid or semi-solid at ambient temperature. Derived from a wide variety of natural sources, Vegetable Butters are comprised primarily of saturated fatty acids, in particular stearic acid and monounsaturated oleic acid.
Vegetable Butter Production
Seed Stock to Oil to Butter -
The production of Vegetable Butters begins with the temperature-controlled expeller-pressing of seed stocks. Refining by deodorization allows for the collection of unsaponifiable fractions such as natural paraffin, tocopherols and sterols contained in the oil. Large quantities of oil are required for Vegetable Butter production because the yield of unsaponifiable fractions is very low. It is for this reason that unsaponifiable fractions are blended with the refined expeller-pressed oil that has undergone hydrogenation.
