Abstract: | Fractionation of butter oil from isopropanol and characterization of the chemical composition and the melting properties of the fractions obtained have been investigated. Butter oil was fractionated from isopropanol (1∶4 wt/vol) at 15 to 30°C. The yields of stearins and oleins were dependent on the temperature employed during fractionation. Thus, 24.8 to 48.9% of stearins and 51.5 to 75.2% of oleins could be obtained as the crystallization temperature varied from 15 to 30°C. The stearin fractions displayed a distinct variation in the fatty acid compositions. The palmitic acid content of the stearin fractions varied from 39.1 to 44.0%, and that of stearic from 15.1 to 16.8%, respectively. The olein fractions contained 43.2% stearic acid, and 2.4 to 2.8% palmitoleic acid (C16∶1). The solid fat content values of the stearin fractions obtained were 62–67, 39–50, and 21–25 at 10, 20, and 30°C, respectively. From the results, it is evident that anhydrous milk fat can be fractionated at relatively high temperatures from isopropanol to produce stearin and olein fractions of specific composition and properties. |
