A stable trans fat free emulsifier composition is provided that may have
other functional ingredients incorporated to form a base for a
flour-based dough preparation to hold the ingredients together. A
glyceride emulsifier is heated above its melting point and blended with a
non-hydrogenated vegetable oil, or a quantity of glyceride emulsifier is
blended with non-hydrogenated vegetable oil and the mixture then heated
to a temperature above its melting point. The ratio of emulsifier to
vegetable oil is selected to cause the composition, upon cooling, to form
a solid plastic mass. The hardness value of the plastic mass is within a
range especially applicable to bakery dough applications.
