Abstract

The present invention provides a method for production of a spread, comprising the steps of: PA1 (a) two aqueous phases with different particle sizes in a fatty phase, of which at least one aqueous phase is dispersed into the fatty phase through a microporous membrane, to prepare a mixed water-in-oil type emulsion; PA1 (b) rapidly cooling the emulsion to plasticize; and PA1 (c) kneading the plasticized emulsion. According to the present invention, it is possible to produce a low-fat spread having good taste easily, which does not require a stabilizer or a gelling agent, is excellent in stability and preservativity on a level never achieved by any conventional methods.
