The present invention is based on the discovery that stearin fats, which can be obtained by dry or solvent fractionation of sunflower oils with high content of stearic acid and high content of oleic acid, optionally with crystal seeding Temperate stearin, have a high content of solid fat at temperatures above 30 ° C, even higher than cocoa butter or other fats from tropical, saturated, high climates with a similar content of triacylglycerol due to the presence of triacylglycerols desaturates rich in stearic acid and an improved melting point due to the presence of arachidic and behenic acids in these desaturated triacylglycerols, while being healthier than current fats made from palm, palm kernel and coconut oil, or hydrogenated vegetable oils and transesterified |
