80% puff pastry margarine

Application Recipe

Puff pastry margarine is normally used as barrier fat in Fat phase in %


flaky baked goods.
Palm stearin 40.0
Interesterified fat blend MP 40/42°C 12.0
RDB palm oil 18.5
Liquid oil 8.0
Emulsifier (mono-and diglycerid + polyglycerolester) 1.0
Lecithin 0.5

Aqueous phase in %
Water 18.0
Salt 1.0
Sugar 1.0

Normally colour and heat stable flavour is added.


Recommended pH value 3-4 by means of citric
Characteristics acid.
Puff pastry margarine should exhibit good plasticity
and a proportional firm and homogenous consistency. Solid fat content in %
Greasiness should be avoided. A flat solid fat content 10°C 62.0
curve is preferred in order to obtain a relatively high and 20°C 44.0
slow melting profile and hereby be able to withstand the 30°C 24.0
layering process and later baking procedure. 40°C 12.0

Melting point
Approximately 42-44°C

Processing
• The ingredients for the aqueous phase are mixed. pH is adjusted.
• The ingredients for the fat phase is melted under agitation, typically the highest melting fats are added first
and liquid oil last. The fat phase is then tempered to approximately 5-8°C higher than the melting point of
the fat phase.
• Emulsifiers, which are mixed into liquid oil in the proportion 1:5, are heated and melted at a temperature
approx. 5-8°C higher than the melting point of the emulsifiers, and added to the fat phase.
• Flavour and colours are added according to solubility.
• The aqueous phase is added under agitation to the fat phase.
• The complete emulsion is pasteurised which typically involve heating to 75-80°C for 15-20 sec and cooling
to 45-50°C or 5-8°C higher than the melting point of the fat phase.
• The emulsion is crystalIised according to the flow diagram below.
• In order for puff pastry margarine to achieve an optimal plasticity a tempering period is often needed. Duration
and storage temperature differs from fat blend to fat blend. Usually puff pastry margarine is tempered at
approx. 16-26°C. Duration: 2-3 days. However, some recipes high in interesterified blends need longer
tempering time at lower temperatures.

Typical quality deficiencies


We recommend the following changes in processing if the below mentioned quality deficiencies during or after
processing occur:

Too hard at the wrapping machine Lumpy (lumps of different sizes)


• Cool more intensively in the first cooling section • Increase the rotation speed in the pin rotor
and/or less intensively in the last cooling section machine
of the SSHE • Ensure proper crystallisation in the first cooling
• Increase the rotation speed in the pin rotor section of the SSHE
machine • Ensure proper water circulation in the jacket of the
• Ensure proper water circulation in the jacket of the pin rotor machine
pin rotor machine

Greasy or too soft at filling or wrapping machine


Brittle • Decrease the rotation speed in the pin rotor
• As described above machine and/or decrease the residence time in
• Increase the total volume of kneading units, i.e. the kneading unit(s).
pin rotor machine • Cool less intensively in the first cooling section
of the SSHE and/or more intensively in the second

Grainy (small rice-like grains)
• Increase the remelt temperature of the return
