Thioester derivatives as low calorie fat mimetics

摘要

Thiester derivatives are disclosed as fat mimetic compounds for reduced calorie food compositions. These compounds have a two- to six-carbon backbone to which are attached at least one C1 to C29 fatty aliphatic, ether, ester or thioester group in ester linkage and at least one other fatty C1 to C29 group in ester or thioester linkage. Preferred compounds have three fatty substituents attached to the backbone and are partially digestible.
