Disclosed is a method whereby, in producing a hard butter composition being rich in SUS (2-unsaturated-1,3-disaturated triglyceride) via ester exchange by a 1,3-specific lipase, the production can be more conveniently or more efficiently carried out. In producing a hard butter composition being rich in SUS (2-unsaturated-1,3-disaturated triglyceride) via ester exchange by a 1,3-specific lipase, a low-melting point fraction of allanblackia fat is used as the main starting material, saturated fatty acids are selectively introduced into the 1- and 3-positions of the fat, and then fractionation is optionally conducted to thereby give an SUS-rich fraction.

Method for producing hard butter composition

Migration of fat in complex confectionery is prevented by using a fat having a function for preventing swelling caused by oil absorption which comprises 1,3-saturated-2-unsaturated type glycerides of which at least one constituent saturated fatty acid has 20 to 24 carbon atoms. Chocolate having a function for preventing swelling caused by oil absorption to be used for a complex confectionery which comprises a fat ingredient comprising 1,3-saturated-2-unsaturated type glycerides of which constituent saturated fatty acids have 20 to 24 carbon atoms is also disclosed. Further, a complex confectionery comprising the chocolate and a baked confectionery and shell molded type chocolate are also disclosed.

Fats having function for preventing swelling caused by oil absorption

An anti-blooming agent which comprises not less than 20% by weight of mono-U-di-S glycerides (SSU) wherein U is a fatty acid residue having a melting point as the corresponding free fatty acid of not higher than 40.degree. C. and bonded to the 1- or 3-position of the glyceride, and S is a saturated fatty acid residue having a melting point of not lower than 45.degree. C. and bonded to the remaining positions, and not less than 75% by weight of all S in said SSU being stearic acid residue or palmitic acid residue. The production of hard butter and a hard butter product such as chocolate using the anti-blooming agent is also disclosed.

Process of making a hard butter composition containing an anti-blooming

Fats and oils suitable for a starting material of emulsified food which is exposed to a low temperature are produced by subjecting a mixed oil containing soft palm oil and a laurin fat or oil in an amount of 1/10 to 3/2 times that of the palm oil to 1,3-selective ester interchange.

1,3-selective esterification of soft palm oil and lavrin fats/oils

A method for dry fractionation of a fat or oil wherein a non or less-laurin fat or oil is cooled and then fractionated into a solid fraction and a liquid fraction, said method comprising cooling the fat or oil in an apparatus having cooling means to crystallize it in a desired crystallization degree, then crushing it physically to fluidize it, and then pressing or filtering it to fractionate into the crystalline solid fraction and the liquid fraction.

Method for dry fractionation of fats and oils

A powdery tempering accelerator which comprises a powder of stable crystals of a fat or oil composed of as a main component a 1,3-saturated-2-unsaturated triglyceride the total carbon atoms of the constituent fatty acid residues of which are 50 to 56. A method for using thereof in chocolate is also disclosed.

Tempering accelerator and use thereof in chocolate

A chocolate additive for preventing fat blooming and useful for omitting or simplifying the tempering operations comprising powder particles composed of as the main component a 2-unsaturated-1,3-disaturated glyceride constituent fatty acids of which are unsaturated fatty acids having at least 18 carbon atoms and saturated fatty acids having 20 to 24 carbon atoms and a chocolate containing the additive.

Chocolate and chocolate additive

A hard butter composition suitable for a cocoa butter substitute which comprises as a main ingredient a triglyceride SUS, constituent saturated fatty acids of which contain at least 4% by weight of one or a plurality of fatty acids selected from the group consisting of behenic acid, lignoceric acid, cerotic acid and arachidic acid, provided that the amount of arachidic acid is less than 4% by weight based on the total weight of the constituent saturated fatty acids.
