On the other hand, stearic acid (86 g/
100 g) and palmitic acid (11.5 g/100 g) are predominantly present in
fully hydrogenated soybean oil, with 1-palmitoyl-2,3-distearoylglycerol
(PStSt) (~27 g/100 g) and tristearoylglycerol (StStSt) (~70 g/
100 g) as the main triacylglycerols. Thus, the random distribution of
the fatty acids in the blend of soybean oil/fully hydrogenated soybean
oil after chemical interesterification allows the formation of a
wide variety of TAGs with intermediate melting points: disaturated
(S2U) and monounsaturated (U2S) TAGs.
