  • Publication number: 20220039422
    Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of providing an oily food, such as chocolate or cream, which does not require tempering treatment and in which the occurrence of blooming and the like is suppressed even when a large amount of cocoa butter is used; and producing method thereof. The present invention provides an oily product containing a fat/oil as a continuous phase. The fat/oil contains SOS, HMM, HLM, HLL, HHM and HHL. The mass ratio (HLM/HLL) of the HLM content to the HLL content is 1.0 or more. The mass ratio (HMM+HLM+HLL+HHM+HHL)/SOS of the total content of HMM, HLM, HLL, HHM and HHL to the SOS content is 0.9 to 8. In HMM, HLM, HLL, HHM and HHL, fatty acids having a carbon number of 20 or more occupy less than 3% by mass of the total constituent fatty acids H.

  • Publication number: 20180014566
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide oils and fats which include constituent fatty acids containing a large amount of n-decanoic acid, scarcely cause discomfort when ingested, and have excellent cold resistance. The present invention provides oils and fats, in which the content of tridecanoin is 30% by mass or less, the content of medium chain fatty acids contained in the constituent fatty acids is 65 to 95% by mass, and the content of n-decanoic acid contained in the medium chain fatty acids is 50% by mass or more. Furthermore, the present invention provides oils and fats in which the content of unsaturated fatty acids contained in the constituent fatty acids of the oils and fats is 3 to 35% by mass.
