Development and Functional Characterization of an Interesterified Fully Hydrogenated Rapeseed Oil/Sea Buckthorn Oil Fat System for Non-Tempered Confectionery Glazes

The development of alternative fat systems for confectionery glazes requires precise control of melting behavior, solid fat content, and rheological performance. In this study, binary fat systems based on fully hydrogenated rapeseed oil (FHRSO) and refined sea buckthorn oil (RSBO) were developed and modified by chemical interesterification for application in non-tempered confectionery glazes. Interesterified blends with FHRSO/RSBO ratios of 10/90, 20/80, and 30/70 were characterized in terms of
