(Fig. 11). The cisconfiguration produces a bend in themolecule, whereas thetrans configuration resemblesmore the straight chain of saturated fatty acids.During partial hydrogenation, some double bonds areisomerized into transfatty acids from theircisconfiguration (Scholfield et al., 1967). Transfatty acids havesimilar melting points to that of the correspondingsaturated fatty acids and are very important contributors to the functional properties of hydrogenatedproducts. This has recently become a controversialhealth issue. Many studies have been done on the biological effects of trans-fatty acids in animal and humansubjects (Anderson, Grande, & Keys, 1961; Andersonand Coots, 1967; Beveridge & Connel, 1962; Coots,1964a, 1964b; Emken, Rohwedder, Dutton, Dejarlais, &Adolf, 1979; Erickson, Coots, Mattson, & Kligman,1964; Johnston, Johnson, & Kummerow, 1957; Kummerow, Mizuguchi, Arima, Cho, & Hunang, 1978;Mavis & Vegelos, 1972). However, some controversialresults were reported regarding their effect on the metabolism and vital organs of the respective subjects underexperimental conditions. Kummerow and coworkers(Kummerow et al., 1978) reported the adverse effects ofhydrogenated fat on the development of atheroscleroticlesions in swine. In human subjects, it has been foundthat diet containing trans acids cause an elevation ofplasma cholesterols, triacylglycerides and phospholipids(Anderson et al., 1961). These results are supported byVergrosen (1972)and Houtsmuller (1978). However,Vergrosen (1972)also reported that trans acids are lesshypercholesterolemic (increase in plasma cholestrollevel) than the shorter-chain saturates, lauric and myristic, but more hypercholesterolemic than either palmiticor oleic. The fact thattrans fatty acids have a higherFig. 11.

Ghotra et al. / Food Research International 35 (2002) 1015–1048melting point than their correspondingcis-isomers suggests that the incorporation of thetransfatty acids intocellular membranes may affect the properties of themembrane and its function (Chapman, Owens et al.,1966). High levels of trans fatty acids are considered tobe a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (Reddy &Jeyarani, 2001). Industry and regulatory agencies arebeginning to work together to ensure that the manufacture of shortenings do not amplify TFA intake. It isexpected that USA Food and Drug Administration(FDA) will establish regulations governing the percentage of allowed TFAs in edible oil products in 2002.Specialty oils such as Trisun and Sunola oils (based onsunflower seed oil) do not require hydrogenation forgood stability and performance (Mag, 1994). Thesehave potential uses in manufacturingtrans-free shortenings. Recently, it has been reported that it is possibleto prepare TFA-free bakery shortening (puff/cake/biscuit) using Mango and Mahua fats and their fractions(Reddy & Jeyarani, 2001). Reddy and Jeyrani (2001)and Kok and coworkers (Kok, Fehr, Hammond, &,White, 1999), have successfully prepared a shorteningwithout any hydrogenation treatment. They alsodemonstrated that such a product has functionalproperties comparable to most of the commercialshortenings.Further research is required in the following importantareas:1. Improvements in the hydrogenation process foruse in the manufacture oftrans-free shortenings.2. Effects oftransfatty acids on the physiology andbiochemistry of vital organs such as the heart.3. Manipulations of the processing conditionsunder which shortenings/margarines are produced to deliver comparable functional properties without needing to hydrogenate.Within our laboratory, our efforts are concentratedaround understanding relationships between molecularensembles, processing conditions, crystalline andmicrostructural structure of the shortening network,and between all levels of structure of the network andphysical functionality of the shortening. In this manner, wehope to build a comprehensive understanding of the waysin which the starting materials and processing conditionsaffect the functional properties of the final network.10.2. ManufacturingThere are number of factors that influence the finalphysical functionality of shortenings and margarines:1. proportions of solids to liquids;2. viscosity of the liquid;3. temperature treatment;4. mechanical working;5. super cooling;6. polymorphism;7. properties of the crystals: size, number, andcomposition; and8. spatial distribution, size, and shape of themicrostructure.Processing, therefore, is as equally important as thedesign of the oil blend; in the determination of the physical properties and performance of shortenings. Forexample, whipping of margarines up to fifty percentoverrun. (Overrun is defined as incorporation of air intothe product that results in decreasing the bulk density,increasing hardness, and in allowing the use of softer(unsaturated) oil blends, (Gorman, Bluff, Christie, &Glenview Kraft, 1960). Formulation of the blend andsubsequent processing conditions regulates the type ofcrystal formation and subsequent network formation.The type of crystals formed has a direct influence on themorphology of the solid structure (microstructure) thattraps the liquid phase of the shortening/margarine(Haighton, 1976; Thomas, III 1978; Wiedermann,1978).Haighton (1959, 1976)reported that the hardnessof margarine in terms of yield value has a strong correlation to the solid content. The manufacturing processitself can have significant impact on the solid content ofthe finished margarine. Margarines are typically manufactured by quick chilling of the fat blend using a sweptsurface heat exchanger (Unit A, Fig. 12), followed byholding in crystallization tubes before molding orforming. Depending on the rate of cooling, the relativetime spent in the heat exchanger and crystallizationtubes, whether the fat is ‘worked’ in the crystallizationtubes, and the temperature of the crystallization tube,the solid content, and the crystal type and microstructure of the resulting network is greatly affected.The temperature in the crystallization tube is usually2C higher than the temperature in Unit A, due to theliberation of heat during crystallization (Haighton,1976). If the rate of crystallization is low, the margarineis typically very soft (Haighton, 1976). The fat continuesto crystallize in the holding tubes and usually needshours to reach complete crystallization. Variousarrangements of Unit A and crystallization tubes areapplied for different kind of shortening manufacturing,as shown inFig. 12. For stick margarines, the supercooled fat is allowed to solidify without agitation. Thispost crystallization, in the absence of agitation, favorsthe formation of strong networks characterized by sintering between network structures and the productdemonstrates a narrow plastic range. When a specificcharacteristic is desired, the use of an additional working unit, after super cooling in the scraped surface heatexchanger, is required.
