A method of making an oil-and-fat capable of being used as a non-tempering hard butter of a non-lauric acid type, having a sharp melting property (meltability in the mouth), a good compatibility with a cacao butter and a low trans-fatty acid content, includes fractionating an oil-and-fat A comprising a first non-laurin-based oil-and-fat containing 50 to 100 mass % of SUS type triglyceride and a non-laurin-based transesterification oil containing 12 to 38 mass % of SSU type triglyceride or an oil-and-fat B obtained by partially hydrogenating the oil-and-fat A so as to obtain a soft portion.

Method of making oil-and-fat

[Object] To provide an oil and fat composition that can be used as a low trans fatty acid content, non-lauric, non-tempering type hard butter and an oil-based food product comprising the oil and fat composition that exhibits good heat resistance and melting feeling in the mouth. [Means for Solving the Problems] The oil and fat composition of the present invention is characterized by satisfying the following conditions of (a) to (g):

Oil and fat composition that can be used as non-tempering type hard butter

An oil-and-fat composition, meets the following five requirements (a) to (e): In the five conditions (a) to (e), X, O, P, St, X2O, XOX and PStO respectively represent the following.

Oil-and-fat composition and method for producing the same

An object of the present invention is to provide a fat and oil composition for spreads having good oral solubility and spreadability without greasiness. A fat and oil composition for spreads of the present invention is composed of a continuous fat and oil phase and a water phase, characterized in that the fat and oil phase comprises (a) a liquid-state fat and oil containing, as a main ingredient, triglycerides having fatty acids with 8 to 10 carbon atoms in an amount of not less than 10% by mass of the total constitutional fatty acids; (b) a low melting transesterified fat and oil obtained by subjecting 40 to 90 parts by mass of the palm based fat and oil and 60 to 10 parts by mass of a liquid-state fat and oil to transesterification with a 1,3-position-specific lipase; and (c) a solid-form fat and oil having an open-tube melting point under increasing temperature of 38&#xb0; C. or higher.

Fat and oil composition for spreads

The present invention provides a method of treating fats and oils containing low concentrations of aromatic halogen compounds and other contaminants by contacting the fats or oils with an adsorbing agent. The adsorbing agent contains a porous body and a non-protonic polar solvent held in the interiors of fine pores in the porous body to adsorb the contaminants. In one embodiment, the porous body also carries noble metal fine particles. In another embodiment, the adsorbing body comprises a solid acid for adsorbing the contaminants and there is a step of contacting the adsorbing body with an organic solvent to extract the adsorbed contaminants into the organic solvent.

Method of treating fats and oils

A high-pressure treatment apparatus comprises a first solid reservoir, a second solid reservoir connected to the first solid reservoir through a first connecting pipe, a high-pressure reactor connected to the second solid reservoir through a second connecting pipe, means for feeding reaction medium into the high-pressure reactor, a first sealing unit and a second sealing unit intervened respectively in the first connecting pipe and second connecting pipe, a first fluid feed unit for feeding a first fluid between the first sealing unit and the second sealing unit, a second fluid feed unit for feeding a second fluid between the second sealing unit and the high-pressure reactor, and means for opening the second sealing unit at the time of shut-off of the first sealing unit and controlling the first fluid and the second fluid to form a pressure-gradient so that pressure between the first sealing unit and the second sealing unit and pressure between the second sealing unit and the high-pressure reactor decrease gradually toward the high-pressure reactor.

High-pressure treatment apparatus, feeding method thereto and protection method thereof

A waste processing method decomposing an organic substance or an inorganic substance contained in organic wastes or inorganic wastes by holding a mixture of the organic wastes or the inorganic wastes and a medium, which is in its supercritical state, for a pre-determined time period, in which the hydrogen ion concentration of the medium is 10.sup.-4 mol or more to 1 kg of the medium. A waste processing method having a step of decomposing all or almost all of an organic substance included in organic wastes into lower-molecular-weight products by holding the organic wastes in a medium, which is in its supercritical state, for a pre-determined time and a step of oxidizing and decomposing the lower-molecular-weight products into carbon dioxide (CO.sub.2) and/or water (H.sub.2 O) by holding a mixture of an oxidant and the lower-molecular-weight products in the medium, which is in its subcritical state, for a pre-determined time period.
