COLD-RESISTANT FAT COMPOSITION AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

An object of the invention is to provide a fat composition which even in long-term storage at low temperatures (in a refrigeration or freezing range), has excellent cold resistance because the fat is inhibited from undergoing crystal growth, and to provide a process for producing the composition. The inventors made intensive studies in order to accomplish the object and, as a result, they have found that a cold-resistant fat composition, a process for producing the same, and an oily food containing the cold-resistant fat composition as the main component of the fat can be provided. The composition is characterized by comprising: a fat which is liquid at room temperature and in which the proportion of polyvalent unsaturated fatty acids in all unsaturated fatty acids is 60% or more; and 0.15 to 4.5 wt.% saturated fatty acid triglyceride based on the fat.
