Summary There are probably as many methods or variations of methods for melting points, solidification, and consistency as there are producers in the fats and oil industry. I have tried to review the more important ones. The interpretation of results and importance attached to each test will vary widely from producer to producer. My presentation and interpretation have been primarily of methods used by our company and related to the shortening field. In our experience the data obtained from Wiley Melting Points, Penetration Values, and % solids from dilations are the primary controls for the consistency of our products.
