Description

  The present invention relates to an oil and fat composition containing medium chain fatty acids as constituent fatty acids, spreads and fillings containing the oil and fat compositions, and methods for producing these oil and fat compositions, spreads and fillings.

For fillings such as soft chocolate spread on bread or cream filled in cream bread, an oil and fat composition having plasticity is usually used as the body. By blending an oil and fat composition having plasticity, these spreads and fillings have good plasticity and excellent meltability.
In addition, these spread and filling oil compositions are required not to be separated into solid oil and liquid oil (hereinafter abbreviated as solid-liquid separation) in a wide temperature range.
Furthermore, since spreads and fillings are usually used by filling them into tubes or cups, the fat composition for spreads and fillings can be easily removed from the tubes or cups without becoming too hard even in a wide temperature range, especially during refrigeration. It is required to have an appropriate hardness so that it can be taken out easily.
As an oil and fat composition that satisfies the properties required for these spread and filling oil and fat compositions, for example, it contains 30% or more fatty acid groups having 20 or more carbon atoms as the high melting point part, and the rising melting point is 55 ° C. or more. Oil base composition (see Patent Document 1) containing 2 to 8% of fats and oils, and a spread base prepared by adding a mixed oil of tri-saturated fatty acid glycerides containing oil and liquid behenic acid at room temperature (see Patent Document 2) Etc. have been proposed.
On the other hand, in order to impart good plasticity to the spread and filling, quenching and kneading are often performed in the manufacturing process, but it is desired that this can be omitted for cost reduction.

By the way, an oil or fat composition containing a medium chain fatty acid as a constituent fatty acid is suitable for health because it is rapidly decomposed and metabolized when absorbed into the body to become an energy source and is difficult to accumulate in the body. Therefore, it is very useful if such an oil and fat composition can be used for the spread and filling.
Conventionally, as an oil and fat composition containing a medium chain fatty acid as a constituent fatty acid, for example, a low calorie peanut butter containing a triglyceride in which the oil phase contains at least about 10% medium chain fatty acids (see Patent Document 3), Low-calorie fats produced from triglycerides containing long-chain fatty acids and long-chain fatty acids (see Patent Document 4), dietary fats and oils containing behenic acid as constituent fatty acids (see Patent Document 5), and the like have been proposed.
