Field of the Invention
The invention relates to preparation of shortening. In particular the preparation of a coated shortening pellet wherein a coating of a high melting point shortening is added to a pellet of a lower melting point shortening after extrusion of the pellet. The high melting point coating resists softening at temperatures commonly associated with the shipping and storage of shortening and thereby prevents agglomeration of the shortening pellets during shipping and storage.

This invention generally relates to shortening in the form of solids such as pellets or chunks. The shortening is primarily vegetable oil or low-fat or fat substitute, or combination thereof, in a solid form suitable for uses requiring a non- liquid which is still able to be poured or metered.

TITLE: COATED PELLETIZED SHORTENING associated with shipping and storage of the shortening.
The formation of shortening pellets is known and their formation by extrusion of a flow of solidified shortening through extrusion orifices which impart a desired pellet size and shape is described and discussed in U.S. Patent No. 5,866,187 and U.S. Patent No. 6,054,167 to Kincs et al., the specifications of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Summary of the Invention
The inventive method comprises forming a coated pelletized shortening or fat by coating a second liquid vegetable oil or fat, on to a rod or pellet of solid vegetable oil or fat as it exits the extrusion head of a pellet forming device. The liquid coating will form a layer over a first solid vegetable oil or fat. This is accomplished by adding the liquid second fat onto the pelletized solid. The preferred liquid fat or vegetable oil will have a melting point of greater than 120°F. The fat coating is then allowed to form its solid phase about the first, extruded solid oil or fat. The coating, due to its higher melting point, is better able to resist softening or melting than is the first solid oil or fat when both are exposed to temperatures above 70 degrees Fahrenheit. In this manner a solid pellet exterior surface is presented at higher temperatures and agglomeration of the pellets when exposed to the higher temperatures is avoided.
The objective is to produce a pelletized shortening that resists clumping together or agglomeration at a temperature of at least 85 degrees Fahrenheit while having a minimum solid fat index similar to that of all purpose shortening, frying shortening, margarine, lard, etc.

Description of the Preferred Embodiment
As required, detailed embodiments of the present inventions are disclosed herein; however, it is to be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, which may be embodied in various forms. Therefore, specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but merely as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to variously employ the present invention in virtually any appropriately detailed structure.
The apparatus illustrated in Fig. 1 includes a device 1 for crystallizing a molten shortening. The flat plate flaker is the preferred method for shortenings having a melting point below approximately 120 degrees Fahrenheit and/or a minimum SFI of 19 percent at 21.1 degrees Celsius/70.0 degrees Fahrenheit and a maximum SFI of 16 at 40.0 degrees Celsius/104.0 degrees Fahrenheit. Other typical devices that can be used are a scraper surface heat exchanger, and/or agitator unit, and a static hold unit with pelletizing holes, or a chill roller that are commonly used in the shortening industry. The solid shortening is collected in a hopper 2 which directs the solid shortening into the screw auger 3. The augers 4
push the solidified flakes or shortening toward extrusion head 7 creating a
pressurized flow. The feed rate and pressure generated at the extrusion head 7 are adjusted by controlling the rotation speed of the augers. A variable speed controlled electric motor 5 is used for this purpose. To give uniform pellet lengths, a guillotine cutter 6 is provided to cut the extruded shape. The cut pellets fall into a filling
hopper 12 for loading a shipping container.
-5- WA 393430.2 INVENTOR: HUXEL, Edward T.
TITLE: COATED PELLETIZED SHORTENING
The coating is added to the extruded shortening near the exit side of voids or holes 8 of extrusion head 7 as the formed rod of shortening enters counter bored
voids or holes 10. Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 show the features of the extrusion head. The
solid shortening is forced into extrusion head 7 by augers 4 (Fig. 2). Extrusion head
7 is slightly warmed by circulating heated water through holes 9 in head 7. The water is heated to approximately 10 degrees to 15 degrees Fahrenheit below the melting point of the first solid oil or shortening. The warm surface melts the lower melting point fat fractions in the outer surface of the first shortening as it passes through voids or holes 8 to provide a liquid, lubricating layer or oil for the solid shortening. The extrusion holes 8 (Fig. 4) extend through head 7 and into a larger,
concentric counter bored voids or holes 10. The counter bored holes 10 have a
diameter approximately .002 inches to .004 larger than extrusion voids or holes 8.
A second, different shortening having a melting point of at least 125 degrees Fahrenheit is pumped through holes 11 drilled into the counter bored holes 10. The second fat or shortening is pumped at a sufficient flow rate to coat the outside layer of the just formed shortening rods prior to being cut into pellets. The coating does not need to coat the outside completely, but coat sufficiently to prevent clumping of the formed pellets when the finished product is exposed to 85 degrees Fahrenheit storage temperature.
Fig. 5 shows a system for pumping heated water through the block using a shell and tube heat exchanger. In Fig. 6, the second shortening application system
is shown. The second, melted shortening is pumped through voids or holes 11

TITLE: COATED PELLETIZED SHORTENING entering the counter bored voids or holes 10 of extrusion tube 8. A variable speed triplex piston pump is used to pump the second, coating shortening.
Pilot plant trials were done on the products shown in Table 1. The SFI, specifications and melting points for each product are listed. The three different products of Table 1 were flaked on the flat plate flaker at temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit and pressed through the previously described extrusion head 7.
As the rods of solid shortening entered counter bored void or tube 10, a second, liquid oil of molten soybean sterate (M.P. 135° Fahrenheit, 4 iodine value(I.V.)) was pumped into the enlarged space created by the increased diameter of counter bored void or hole 10. The second shortening coated the formed rods of shortening exiting
from extrusion voids 8 and formed a layer on the rods which solidified rapidly. The layer consistently covered approximately 75 percent of the outside layer of the pellet cylinder wall. The coating shortenings had β-carotene added at a high level for color contrast.
To simulate shipping, storage and distribution fluctuations, storage tests were conducted on each item from Table I. Table II lists the operating parameters and results for each shortening. Each shortening was placed into a 6.5 inch by 6.5 inch by 12 inch high carton box. Nine pounds of coated pellets were filled into each carton box. These boxes were prepared for each item. Each box was initially maintained at 45 degrees Fahrenheit for 48 hours. After the initial storage, one box of each item was stored at 70 degrees Fahrenheit, 85 degrees Fahrenheit and 100 degrees Fahrenheit for 24 hours. After the 24 hours elapsed, the boxes were returned to the 45 degree Fahrenheit storage room for 24 hours to return the mass

TITLE: COATED PELLETIZED SHORTENING to the original 48-50 degrees Fahrenheit. After the third storage period, the entire contents of the box were dumped onto a tray and gently raked with a fork. All agglomerated or clumped pellets were weighed. A control sample was also run on the all purpose vegetable shortening without the second shortening coating.
In Table III, the results are listed for the storage tests. The control had a considerable amount of clumping in comparison to the other items. Coating the pellet with a higher melting point shortening reduces significantly the clumping when the products are subjected to higher storage conditions.
