Margarine (/ˈmɑːrdʒəriːn/, also UK: /ˈmɑːrɡə-, ˌmɑːrɡəˈriːn, ˌmɑːrdʒə-/, US: /ˈmɑːrdʒərɪn/ (listen))[1] is a spread used for flavoring, baking, and cooking. It is most often used as a substitute for butter. Although originally made from animal fats, most margarine consumed today is made from vegetable oil. The spread was originally named oleomargarine from Latin for oleum (olive oil) and Greek margarite (pearl indicating luster). The name was later shortened to margarine.[2]
Margarine consists of a water-in-fat emulsion, with tiny droplets of water dispersed uniformly throughout a fat phase in a stable solid form.[3] While butter is made from the butterfat of milk, modern margarine is made through a more intensive processing of refined vegetable oil and water. In some U.S. jurisdictions, margarine must have a minimum fat content of 80 percent (with a maximum of 16% water) to be labeled as such.[4]
1. Build the Texture of the Cake, The first benefit of margarine is as a baking agent. This is because margarine is able to maintain the level of stability between the water and the oil emulsion in the cake composition.
2. Gives a Distinctive Aroma, The addition of margarine to the cookie dough, in addition to making the texture soft, can also give the cake a delicious aroma. The distinctive aroma will begin to be smelled when the baked cake begins to cook.
Although margarine is an artificial food ingredient obtained from the emulsion process, margarine still has nutritional content that is also needed by our body. Margarine can replace cooking oil, as it is lower in fat. This can reduce the risk of high cholesterol. Margarine also contains vitamin A, vitamin K, calcium, iron, protein, and carbohydrates. Margarine also contains antioxidants that are good for the body. Well, the nutritional content in margarine is indispensable for our body, especially for eye health, preventing osteoporosis, and maintaining hormonal balance.
