Disclosed is a preferred oleaginous composition in an oil-in-water type emulsifier used as whipped cream mainly in confectionary and bread manufacturing. Use of the oleaginous composition suppresses whipped cream property changes that occur because of temperature changes, substantially without containing trans-fatty acid thereby providing an oil-in-water emulsifier with an excellent melt-in-the-mouth property. Disclosed is the manufacturing of an oil-in-water type emulsifier using an oleaginous composition containing a lauric acid content of 10-30% by weight and a triglyceride content of 30-55% by weight whose total carbon number is 44-48 of fatty-acid residue that composes the triglyceride, and containing a lauric-type oleo that contains interesterified fat with an iodine value of 30-50 and a lauric acid content of 40% by weight.

Disclosed is an oil-and-fat composition suitable for the coating with a tempered chocolate, particularly suitable for the enrobing with the chocolate. Also disclosed is a low-fat tempered chocolate suitable for coating, particularly enrobing. Specifically disclosed is an oil-and-fat composition which has a content of an oleoyldipalmitin (P2O) component of 70 to 85% by mass, which contains a symmetric triglyceride 1,3-dipalmitoyl-2-oleoylglycerin (POP) in the oleoyldipalmitin (P2O) component at a ratio of the amount of 1,3-dipalmitoyl-2-oleoylglycerin (POP) to the amount of the oleoyldipalmitin (P2O) component [(POP)/(P2O)] of 0.95 or more by mass, and which has a content of tripalmitin (PPP) of 2 to 6% by mass. The oil-and-fat composition is added to a tempered chocolate.

A plastic fat composition to be used mainly as a margarine or shortening having a low content of trans fatty acids, and superior qualities without generating coarse crystals and the like even though a large amount of palm-based fats are blended is provided. A plastic fat composition containing: fat A that is a palm-based fat having an iodine value of no greater than 62; fat B that is a transesterified oil containing 20 to 60% by mass of a saturated fatty acid having 12 to 14 carbon atoms, and 40 to 80% by mass of a saturated fatty acid having 16 to 18 carbon atoms based on the total fatty acids constituting the fat B; and fat C that is a vegetable oil other than the fat A, the fat C having a melting point of no higher than 25&#xb0; C., wherein the fat A, the fat B and the fat C are in an oil phase, the ratio of the content of the fat A to the content of the fat B (fat A/fat B) ranges from 0.5 to 5.5, and the oil phase contains 4.5 to 10.5% by mass of a trisaturated triglyceride constituted only with a saturated fatty acid having 16 or more carbon atoms.

Plastic fat composition

An oil-and-fat composition for coating that simultaneously exhibit both significantly conflicting properties: drying quickly at ambient temperature and hardly peeling off (when eaten), and a food product including the oil-and-fat composition. The oil-and-fat composition for coating of the present invention includes an interesterified oil (A) that is nonselectively interesterified and contains 80 mass % or more of a fatty acid having 16 or more carbon atoms and 35 to 60 mass % of a saturated fatty acid having 16 or more carbon atoms in its constituent fatty acids, and an interesterified oil (B) that is nonselectively interesterified and contains 20 to 60 mass % of a saturated fatty acid having 12 to 14 carbon atoms and 40 to 80 mass % of a saturated fatty acid having 16 to 18 carbon atoms in its constituent fatty acids.
