By this invention, low calorie fat compositions comprising the use of hydroxy triglycerides are provided. Of particular interest is the use of triglyceride compositions having a at least one hydroxy fatty acid. Preferably, the hydroxy fatty acid has a melting temperature above 40 DEG C. The hydroxy triglyceride compositions find use as low calorie fat ingredients in food compositions. The low calorie fat compositions of the present invention demonstrate a caloric value of less than 5.0 kcal/g. Such low calorie fat compositions find use in the preparation of food compositions wherein at least a portion of the fat ingredients have been replaced with a hydroxy triglyceride composition of the present invention. |
