finished shortening consistency of from about 160mm/10 to
about 275mm/10 and a maximum inert gas bubble size less than 1
mm;
5) heating said shortening to a temperature from about
70EF (21EC) maximum to 95EF (35EC) and passing said shortening
through a slotted valve no more than 0.060 inch in width while
lowering the pressure from 300 psig to about 700 psig to
atmoshperic pressure to form a fine inert gas bubble
dispersion; said shortening mixture having a filling
temperature of from about 40EF (4EC) to about 95EF (35CE);
6) tempering said shortening at a temperature of from
about 80EF (27EC) to about 110EF (43EC) for at least about 24
hours.
