margarine

Vegetable butter, also known as margarine, margarine, vegetable butter, etc. , often used as a substitute for whipped cream. It was invented by American Wei Yi in 1945. Vegetable butter is mostly made by adding artificial spices, preservatives, pigments and other additives after hydrogenation of vegetable oil.

If you look carefully at the ingredient label of vegetable cream, you will find that there is no milk fat and cholesterol, but there are trans fatty acids. Excessive intake will lead to an increase in cholesterol and increase the incidence of cardiovascular diseases. Butter sold in the market is mainly divided into two categories: animal cream and vegetable cream.

Cream identification

Butter sold in the market now mainly falls into two categories: animal butter and vegetable butter.

Animal cream, also called whipped cream or thin cream, is separated from whole milk and is rich in natural frankincense. In the process of separation, due to the different specific gravity, the fat in milk will float on the upper layer and become cream. The fat content of cream is only 20%-30% of that of whole milk, and its nutritional value is between whole milk and butter, so it is more expensive.

Vegetable butter, also known as margarine, margarine, vegetable butter, etc. , often used as a substitute for whipped cream, was invented by American Wei Yi in 1945. Vegetable butter is mostly made by adding artificial spices, preservatives, pigments and other additives after hydrogenation of vegetable oil.

If you look carefully at the ingredient label of vegetable cream, you will find that there is no milk fat and cholesterol, but there are trans fatty acids. Excessive intake will lead to an increase in cholesterol and increase the incidence of cardiovascular diseases.

In use, according to the delivery rate, the amount of animal paste is more. Delivery rate refers to the volume expansion rate of cream after high-speed stirring. The cream is sent by a lot of air, which makes the cream swell and become solid.

The sending rate of animal cream is very low, and it will only expand to 1: 2 at most, and generally it can only reach 1: 1.5. But the expansion rate of vegetable cream is at least 1: 3. If the baking temperature is appropriate, it can even reach the expansion rate of 1: 4 or 1: 4, which greatly saves raw materials.

Compared with vegetable butter, animal butter contains more water, less oil and is easy to process. After the cake is made, it is difficult to keep its shape, but it will become soft and deformed when stored at room temperature for a long time, so it needs to be stored at 0℃ to 5℃. However, vegetable cream contains no milk fat, has a higher melting point than animal cream, and has strong stability, so it can be made into various fancy shapes, even various three-dimensional shapes, and will not melt after being placed at room temperature for one hour.

The most intuitive way to distinguish between these two creams is to rub them by hand: rub the animal cream and plant cream on the palm of your hand, and the animal cream will soon disappear in the palm, leaving only a small amount of oil in the palm, like hand cream; But the plant cream is still in the palm of your hand for a long time. With the extension of kneading time, the plant cream will even form in the palm.

When the cake is made of animal cream, it is naturally milky white and slightly yellow in color; In terms of aroma, the higher the animal cream grade, the richer the milk fat content and the stronger the milk flavor. Because vegetable cream is artificially synthesized, its color is mostly bright white, which is whiter than animal cream. Vegetable cream is a synthetic essence prepared according to the taste of the public, which smells "fragrant".

Of course, whether it is artificial plant cream or natural animal cream, the fat content is very high. It is recommended to eat it in moderation, 2-3 times a week, about 30 grams each time.
