FATS CONTAINING POLYGLYCEROL ESTERS

摘要

New polyglycerol fatty acid compositions wherein the polyglycerol moiety predominantly consists of di-, tri- or tetraglycerol, the fatty acid residues have a chain length of 16-18 carbon atoms and are substantially fully saturated and the degree of esterification ranges from 80 to 100%. Said compositions are particularly useful for producing margarines and low-fat spreads having improved butter-like properties and a reduced tendency to develop graininess.
