Abstract

See full text

Flaky pie shells that maintain their structural integrity even when filled with high moisture fillings contain fats bearing short C.sub.2 to C.sub.4 acid residues and long, saturated C.sub.16 to C.sub.22 fatty acid residues. One preferred embodiment contains fats bearing butyric acid residues and residues of fatty acids derived from fully hydrogenated oils containing at least about 75% stearic acid such as hydrogenated soybean oil or hydrogenated canola. Another preferred embodiment contains fats bearing the same complement of saturated long residues, but the short residues are derived from acetic and propionic acids. These fats are low in calories and low in palmitic acid and trans unsaturated acid residues. Pie shells made with the fats are tender and exhibit improved cohesiveness and mechanical strength during shipping, handling and storage.
