Abstract: Certain characteristics of esterified propoxylated glycerol compositions and reduced-fat food products prepared therefrom may be modified and improved by combining such esterified propoxylated glycerol compositions with particular triglyceride compositions having higher melting points, wherein the melting and crystallization properties of each component are taken into account when selecting them for combination. For instance, EPG-based confectionary products having reduced issues with slump, blocking and demolding may be prepared by incorporating such a higher melting triglyceride composition, without compromising the organoleptic qualities of the resulting confectionary.
