Alkoxilierte Zucker- und Zuckeralkoholester zur Verwendung als Fettersatzstoffe.

摘要

The present invention relates to a fat substitute comprising an alkoxylated sugar or sugar alcohol sucrose fatty acid ester. Between 1 and about 50 alkoxyl groups are attached by ether linkages to each polyol molecule. Each alkoxylated polyol is esterified with between about 6 and about 8 fatty acid groups, the fatty acids containing between about 2 and about 24 carbon atoms. Preferred alkoxyl groups are derived from cyclic ethers selected from propylene oxide, ethylene oxide, and mixtures thereof. The invention also relates to a low calorie fat-containing food composition which comprises: (a) non-fat ingredients; and (b) fat ingredients, from about 10% to about 100% by weight of said fat ingredients consisting essentially of the above-described fat substitute.
