PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide: a fat composition which, despite absence of side effects such as bad conditions of digestive tract (diarrhea and the like), contains n-3 fatty acids which have an excellent property to be absorbed into a body, is easy to be processed without precipitation of fat crystals even at an ordinary temperature, and has a good flavor; and a method for producing the same.SOLUTION: A fat composition comprises, among constituent fatty acid residues therein, 20 to 60 wt% of n-3 polyfunctional unsaturated fatty acids, 10 to 30 wt% of caprylic acid and/or capric acid, and 15 to 40 wt% of palmitic acid. A ratio of (amount of palmitic acid residue bound to 2-position)/(total amount of palmitic acid residue) (weight ratio) is 0.4 to 0.95. In the whole fat composition, a content of a triglyceride in which all of the fatty acid(s) bound is caprylic acid and/or capric acid is 10 wt% or less.SELECTED DRAWING: None |
