Glyceride composition for use as coating fat

摘要

A composition comprising triglycerides may be used as a coating fat. The triglyceride content of the composition comprises:
SSS in an amount of from 10 to 20%;
SUS in an amount of from 25 to 65%;
SSU in an amount of from 20 to 50%;
SU2 in an amount of less than 15%; and
S2U in an amount of greater than 70%;
wherein:
the weight ratio of SUS:SSU is from 0.5:1 to 3.0:1;
S is a saturated fatty acid residue having from 12 to 24 carbon atoms;
U is an unsaturated fatty acid residue having from 12 to 24 carbon atoms;
and all percentages are by weight based on the total triglycerides present in the composition.
