Abstract:In order to develop a kind of low-hardness blended beef tallow, the oxidation induction time of blended beef tallow and rapeseed oil was determined by Rancimat method, and the preservation period of blended beef tallow was calculated preliminarily. The hardness of the blended beef tallow at common temperature was measured by texture analyzer and compared with beef tallow and lard. The results showed that the oxidation induction time was (18.92±0.10)~(39.90±0.42) h, and the oxidation stability was between rapeseed oil and beef tallow. At a beef tallow ratio of 40% to 60%, the hardness of blended beef tallow was close to that of lard at several common temperatures. Combined with the changes of hardness values of blended beef tallow and lard at several common temperatures, the ratio of beef tallow in blended beef tallow was determined to be 40%~60%.
