<p>Improved method for producing fats and oils rich in 1,3-disaturated-2-unsaturated-triglycerides (e.g. 1,3-distearyl-2-oleyl compound and 1-palmityl-2-oleyl-3-stearyl compound) useful as a cacao butter substitute, which comprises cultivating a microorganism being capable of assimilating a higher alkyl derivative and producing fats and oils containing 1,3-disaturated-2-unsaturated-triglycerides in a specific medium containing a mixed carbon source comprising at least one stearyl compound and at least one of other carbon compounds selected from a palmityl compound, an oleyl compound and a saccharide under an aerobic condition, collecting the cells of the microorganism and recovering the fats and oils from the cells.</p> |
