PROCESSING OF
MARGARINE
MARGARINE
Butter
Substitute
Water in oil
Emulsion
Tiny Droplets of
water in fat
Less costly &
Convenient
Used as a table
spread
Obtained from
Plant Source
HISTORY
In year 1869
Oleomargarine
Introduced by a French Chemist,
Due to high cost of Butter.
As it was obtained from beef tallow
and a little amount of butter.

Water
INGREDIENTS
Salt
VEGETABLE
OIL
 It is generally present in 80%
proportion in end product.
 Commonly used oils are:
 Sunflower oil
 Olive oil
 Canola Oil etc.
EMULSYFYING
AGENT
 It enables the water and oil to mix
together uniformly.
 Most commonly used emulsifiers are:
 Lecithin
 Monoglycerides
 Diglycerides
SALT
 It is used for the following purposes:
 Flavor Development
 Natural Preservative
 Prevents Lipid Oxidation
WATER
 It is used for the following purposes:
 Acts as a Solvent
 Forms the base of Emulsion

RECEIVING OF
RAW MATERIAL
 It acts as CCP1.
 Freshness and appropriate quality
of the raw materials are inspected.
 Several Preparatory Operations are
also applied.
PREPARATORY
OPERATION
Treatment with Caustic Soda
Bleaching Process
Pasteurization Process
HYDROGENATION
PROCESS
 It takes place in the presence of
hydrogen gas & metal catalyst.
 It maintains the require consistency
of oil.
 It is an Exothermic Reaction.
DIAGRAMMATIC EXPRESSION
MELTING OF
OILS
 Continuous agitation mechanism
 Temperature Range 60-70 degrees
PREPARATION OF
AQUEOUS PHASE
 Mixing of all water soluble
ingredients
 These have total weightage of 16%
in end product
MIXING STAGE
 Mixing starts in emulsion tank
 All ingredients are added at this
stage i.e.
 Water soluble ingredients
 Fat soluble ingredients
ADDITION OF
EMULSIFIER
 Emulsifying agent is added
 Temperature range of 65-70 degrees
 Margarine gets into the semi liquid type
of consistency
SIGNIFICANCE OF
EMULSYFYING AGENT
Forms successful
Emulsion
Prevents oil from
separating
Acts as
Preservative
Increased Stability of
product
Improves texture of
end product
Extends Shelf
life
PRE-CRYSTALIZATION
PROCESS
 Action of rotating pins
 Cooling chamber mechanism with
insulation jacket
 Crystallized fat is scrapped
TEMPERATURE RANGE: 10-22 DEGREES
SCRAPPER SPEED: 300-1000 RPM
DIAGRAMMATIC EXPRESSION
FILLING &
PACKAGING
 Aseptic Packaging approach provides
extended shelf life.
 Different packaging approaches
 Aluminum foil
 Plastic boxes
 Disposable box
