ABSTRACT For optimum bakery performance it is commonplace to hold margarines and shortenings at a temperature of around 27°C for 2-3 days. This process, known as "batch maturing", is complicated by the insulating properties of fat and requires considerable expenditure of energy and storage space. It has been suggested (Oil and Fat vol 39.(12) 1986) that batch maturing may be avoided by in-line microwave irradiation during product processing. One disadvantage of using microwave irradiation is that heating of the fat is uneven and this may lead to local melting, which is undesirable, as it is necessary that the fat does not become molten during the maturing process. The specification discloses that claims, with comparative examples, a process for maturing of fat which comprises the step of illuminating a fatty body with radio-frequency radiation. This penetrates more deeply into the body and avoids uneven heating. By use of the claimed invention it is possible to dispense with batch maturing.
