PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a highly safe fat and oil composition which causes little accumulation of body fat, has usefulness in cooking equivalent to that of a common edible oil, and has a good flavor. SOLUTION: Provided is a fat and oil composition mainly consisting of triglycerides, wherein the rate of medium-chain fatty acids account for 5-23 mass % of all the fatty acids that constitute the composition, and the rate of triglycerides having two medium-chain fatty acid residues in the molecule is 1-20 mass %. It is desirable that the medium-chain fatty acids are 6-12C saturated fatty acids, and that the rate of triglycerides having three medium- chain fatty acid residues in the molecule is at most 3 mass %. |
