Abstract: The present invention is to provide a refined edible oil and/or fat whose light exposure odor has been improved, a method for manufacturing the oil and/or fat, and a method for improving light exposure odor of an edible oil and/or fat. Specifically, the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a refined edible oil and/or fat which includes a step of bringing an oil and/or fat into contact with ozone and a distillation step. The refined edible oil and/or fat is manufactured by the method above.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a fat and oil composition which comprises 25-60 mass % of a soft fractionated palm oil, a polyglycerol ester of fatty acids and a cooking oil other than palm oil, wherein the soft fractionated palm oil comprises 25-38 mass % of a palmitic acid and 40-60 mass % of an oleic acid as constituent fatty acids, and O/P ratio (mass ratio of an oleic acid/a palmitic acid) is 1.3 or more, and the polyglycerol ester of fatty acids has HLB of 1.0-7.5, and the ratio of an oleic acid in the constituent fatty acids thereof is 50-95 mass % and that of a stearic acid is 1.0-15 mass %. This fat and oil composition can be preferably used for frying foods, especially for frying tempura and fried chicken.

Abstract: Disclosed is an oil-and-fat composition having a high ?-linolenic acid content, a hypertension-ameliorating effect, a good flavor, and good storage stability. Also disclosed is a food or beverage containing the oil-and-fat composition. The oil-and-fat composition comprises at least one plant oil A selected from flax oil, perilla oil and perilla seed oil, rice oil, and at least one plant oil B selected from rape seed oil, soybean oil and corn oil at a ratio among the plant oil A, rice oil and the plant oil B [i.e., a (plant oil A)/(rice oil)/(plant oil B) ratio] of 20-35/15-25/40-65 by mass, wherein the ?-linolenic acid content in the constituent fatty acids contained in the oil-and-fat composition is 15 to 30 mass %.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a fat and oil composition which comprises 25-60 mass % of a soft fractionated palm oil, a polyglycerol ester of fatty acids and a cooking oil other than palm oil, wherein the soft fractionated palm oil comprises 25-38 mass % of a palmitic acid and 40-60 mass % of an oleic acid as constituent fatty acids, and O/P ratio (mass ratio of an oleic acid/a palmitic acid) is 1.3 or more, and the polyglycerol ester of fatty acids has HLB of 1.0-7.5, and the ratio of an oleic acid in the constituent fatty acids thereof is 50-95 mass % and that of a stearic acid is 1.0-15 mass %. This fat and oil composition can be preferably used for frying foods, especially for frying tempura and fried chicken.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a fat and oil composition in a container obtained by filling a fat and oil composition comprising soybean oil and palm olein in a container, wherein a ratio of the palm olein per 100 parts by mass of the soybean oil is 33-100 parts by mass, the palm olein has an iodine value of 65 or more and a clouding point of 5° C. or less, the constituent fatty acids of the palm olein comprise 0-4 mass % of myristic acid, 25-38 mass % of palmitic acid, 0.5-6 mass % of stearic acid, 40-60 mass % of oleic acid and 8-18 mass % of linoleic acid, and at least a part of the container is formed of a light transmissive material. This fat and oil composition in a container generates less flavor reversion derived from soybean oil that is induced when the composition is maintained in the presence of light such as irradiation in usual display sales, and said composition comprises soybean oil at a high rate.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a fat and oil composition, which permits the control of the amount of the oil absorbed by a subject to be cooked during cooking the same through heating, which is excellent in the cooking properties and has satisfactory taste and flavor and which can control the amount of the fats and oils taken by the body. The present invention thus herein provides a fat and oil composition comprising triglycerides as a principal component and 0.1 to 9.5% by mass of sucrose fatty acid esters, which esters have an average degree of substitution ranging from 5 to 7, a content of the polyesters having 3 or more present in the ester of not less than 85% by mass, a content of the monoesters present therein of not more than 5% by mass and a content of the diesters present therein of not more than 10% by mass on the basis of the total mass of the sucrose fatty acid esters.

Abstract: An edible fat/oil composition containing a plant sterol, which permits suppressing the deposition of the plant sterol during, for example, the storage and which produces the effect of, for example, inhibiting the absorption of cholesterol, contains an edible fat/oil, linolenic acid in an amount of 1 mass % or more, a plant sterol in an amount of 1 mass % to 10 mass %, tocopherol in an amount of 0.01 mass % to 1 mass %, and a lipophilic emulsifying agent in an amount of 0.005 mass % to 10 mass %.

Abstract: An oil and fat composition exhibiting an antifoaming effect, which comprises: (i) at least 50% by mass of triglycerides comprising fatty acids, wherein the fatty acids comprise fatty acids having 6 to 12 carbon atoms and fatty acids having 14 to 22 carbon atoms in a mass ratio of 5:95 to 95:5; and (ii) 0.01 to 10% by mass of one or more polyglycerol fatty acid ester having an average degree of polymerization of 6 to 10 and an average degree of substitution of 4 to 32, wherein the unsaturated fatty acid content of fatty acids constituting the polyglycerol fatty acid ester is 50 to 100% by mass based on the total fatty acids constituting the polyglycerol fatty acid ester.
