摘要

Plastic shortening and other food compositions which comprise an edible oil and a fatty acid ester of sucrose wherein the fatty acid groups consist essentially of short chain fatty acid radicals containing from 2 to 10 carbon atoms and long chain fatty acid radicals containing from 20 to 24 carbon atoms in a molar ratio of short chain: long chain radicals of 5: 3 to 3: 5, the said esters having a degree of esterification of about 7 to 8. The edible oil can be a triglyceride oil or a nondigestible oil.
