The present invention addresses the problem of providing a method for obtaining a fine oil-and-fat powder having a high oil-and-fat content, and providing the oil-and-fat powder. The present invention also addresses the problem of providing an unprecedented chocolate-like food having a characteristic flavor. A method for manufacturing an oil-and-fat having the following steps. (1) A step for preparing an O/W emulsion having an average particle diameter of 10 to 100μm and containing 10 to 85 wt% of an oil-and-fat having a rising melting point of 50 to 100°C and a water-soluble emulsifier at an amount corresponding to 0.15 to 5 wt% in the oil-and-fat powder, (2) a step for cooling the emulsion until the oil-and-fat solidifies, (3) a step for separating the oil-and-fat which has solidified and surfaced, and (4) a step for performing drying. It is thereby possible to obtain an oil-and-fat powder containing an oil-and-fat having a rising melting point of 50 to 100°C at an amount of 86 to 99.85 wt% in the dry matter, having an average particle diameter of 10 to 100μm, and containing 0.15 to 5 wt% of the water-soluble emulsifier. In addition, it is also possible to provide an unprecedented chocolate-like food having a characteristic flavor by containing 1 to 30 wt% of the above powdered oil-and-fat. |
