| Abstract: | Trans FA (TFA), solid fat contents (SFC), and slip melting points of 12 different tub and stick margarines marketed in Turkey were
examined in this study. No trans isomers were found in four margarines, which suggests they were formulated from interesterified or blended fats and oils.
The products with no TFA generally had more short-chain saturated FA, which suggests coconut oil-based oil components. TFA
content of the other 10 products varied from 7.7 to 37.8%. Compared to the products formulated in North America, Turkish margarines
contain more TFA and have higher SFC. |
