interestérification

CONT: Interesterification ... brings about a molecular rearrangement in the fat. This manifests itself in changes both in melting characteristics and crystal type.
OBS: ester interchange: The Concise Chemical and Technical Dictionary (source BECHE) gives ""ester interchange"" as a synonym of ""interesterification"" and ""transesterification""; however, according to the McGraw-Hill encyclopedia of science and technology (source ENSCI, 1977, p. 27), ""ester interchange"" is a more specific concept referring to the conversion of one ester into another by reaction with a third ester.
