Provided is a fat or oil having a high diacylglycerol content and rich in &#x3b1;-linolenic acid, in which crystallization at low temperature is suppressed, and which hardly causes white turbidity or deposition. Specifically, provided is a fat or oil composition, which satisfies the following (1) to (4): (1) a content of &#x3b1;-linolenic acid in constituent fatty acids of a fat or oil is 40 mass % or more; (2) a total content of a saturated fatty acid having 16 carbon atoms and a saturated fatty acid having 18 carbon atoms in the constituent fatty acids of the fat or oil is 6 mass % or less, and a content of the saturated fatty acid having 18 carbon atoms in the constituent fatty acids of the fat or oil is less than 3 mass %; (3) a content mass ratio of the saturated fatty acid having 16 carbon atoms (P) to the saturated fatty acid having 18 carbon atoms (S) , [(P)/(S)], in the constituent fatty acids of the fat or oil is 0.1 or more and less than 3.5; and (4) a content of diacylglycerols is 25 mass % or more.

Fat composition

Provided is a hard butter, comprising 55 mass % or more of diacylglycerols satisfying the following (1) and (2):

Hard butter

Provided is a fat or oil composition, comprising 50 mass % or more of diacylglycerols whose constituent fatty acids comprise 12 mass % or more of fatty acids having 20 or more carbon atoms and 5 mass % or less of a total content of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, and having an iodine value of a fat or oil of 120 or less.

Oil or fat composition

Provided is a fat or oil composition, comprising the following components (A) and (B): (A) 0.4 to 6 mass % of a free type triterpene alcohol; and (B) 0.2 to 3 mass of a free type phytosterol containing 20 mass % or more of &#x3b2;-sitosterol, in which a content mass ratio of the free type triterpene alcohol (A) to the free type phytosterol (B), [(A)/(B)], is 0.9 or more.

Provided is a fat or oil composition that may reduce degradation odor to a less extent at the time of cooking even though comprising &#x3b1;-linolenic acid in a large amount, and is capable of improving the taste and flavor of the cooked food. The fat or oil composition comprises the following components (A) and (B): (A) a fat or oil whose constituent fatty acids comprise from 10 to 50 mass % of &#x3b1;-linolenic acid; and (B) 0.05 to 1.8 mass % of a free type triterpene alcohol.
