Abstract: Nondigestible fat compositions useful as replacements for triglyceride fats or oils in foods are disclosed. These compositions have relatively flat solid Fat Content (SFC) profile slopes between typical room temperature and body temperature. The nondigestible fat compositions comprise a liquid nondigestible oil and nondigestible solid polyol polyester particles dispersed in the oil in an amount sufficient to control passive oil loss. The solid polyol polyester particles of the composition herein comprise from about 10% to 50% polyol polyester polymer and from 50% to about 90% polyol polyester monomer. The polyol polyester material which forms these solid particles must contain a relatively high proportion of long chain saturated fatty acid ester groups. Edible fat-containing products comprising these nondigestible fats can be less waxy tasting due to the lower level of solids required for passive oil loss control.

Abstract: Solid nondigestible polyol polyesters wherein the ester groups contain (1) fatty acid radicals having at least one hydroxyl group that is esterified with another fatty acid or other organic radical, and (2) at least about 15% long chain (C.sub.20 or higher) saturated fatty acid radicals. The molar ratio of (1):(2) is from about 0.1:7.9 to about 3:5. These solid nondigestible polyol polyesters are very efficient passive oil loss control agents for liquid nondigestible oils. Edible fat-containing products including nondigestible fats containing these solid polyol polyesters can be less waxy tasting due to the lower level of solids required for passive oil loss control.

Abstract: Nondigestible fat compositions useful as a replacement for triglyceride fats or oils in foods are disclosed. These compositions have relatively flat Solid Fat Content (SFC) profile slopes between typical room and body temperatures. The nondigestible fat compositions comprise a liquid nondigestible oil and nondigestible particles of solid polyol polyester material dispersed in the oil in an amount sufficient to control passive oil loss. The ester groups of the solid polyol polyester material comprise (i) at least about 15% ester groups formed from C.sub.20 -C.sub.26 long chain saturated fatty acid radicals, and (ii) ester groups formed from fatty or other organic acid radicals which are dissimilar said long chain saturated fatty acid radicals. The molar ratio of said dissimilar acid radicals to said long chain saturated fatty acid radicals ranges from about 0.1:7.9 to about 3:5. Moreover, the dissimilar acid radicals cannot consist solely of C.sub.2 -C.sub.12 short chain saturated fatty acid radicals, C.sub.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for making a pastry dough, and in particular for making a pie crust dough. The process involves making two phases, a dough like mixture of flour, water, salt and oil, and a shortening, starch and polyol phase. These phases are laminated to make a heterogeneous pastry dough which has a flaky tender texture when baked. This dough composition is made in manner which is largely independent of processing temperatures and mix times. The dough is characterized by having multiple, discontinuous layers which are interrupted by regions of gluten and the starch/fat/polyol phase.

Abstract: Nondigestible fat compositions having relatively flat Solid Fat Content (SFC) profile slopes between typical room and body temperatures are disclosed. These nondigestible fat comprise a liquid nondigestible oil and relatively small nondigestible particles dispersed in the oil to control passive oil loss. These nondigestible particles consist essentially of a cocrystallized blend of a nondigestible solid polyol fatty acid polyester hardstock and a crystal modifier capable of inducing this hardstock to form these relatively small particles. Edible fat-containing products comprising these nondigestible fat can be less waxy tasting due to the lower level of solids required for passive oil loss control.

By employing a zeolite ZSM-12 based alkylation catalyst, essentially only the propylene from the olefin-containing alkylation mixture will react with the aromatic hydrocarbon to thereby form both an alkylaromatic product enriched in propylated alkylaromatic and a propylene-free residual olefin-containing mixture enriched in the unreacted ethylene.
