In this study, the relationship between slip melting point (SMP) and fatty acid composition of blends before and after interesterification were investigated. Forty-four blends were prepared using sunflower, canola and cottonseed oils, as well as palm stearin and/or fully hydrogenated palm stearin in different proportions. Fatty acid compositions and SMP of samples were determined and then SMP of the blends before and after interesterification were defined as a function of 5 fatty acids.
