Abstract
The physical characteristics of various commercial hard butters are compared by determining their solid contents (dilatometrically) and melting thermograms (DSC). For most applications in the confectionery industry, hard butters manufactured by the hydrogenation and interesterification of fats and oils offer economic advantages over those obtained by the fractionation of fats.
