Abstract
Acylated amino acid ester derivatives are disclosed as fat mimetic compounds for reduced calorie food compositions. These compounds are derived from amino acids and contain one amino group acylated with a fatty acid or fatty acid derivative, one carboxylic group esterified with a fatty alcohol or a fatty alcohol derivative, and, optionally, a free or derivatized amino acid side chain. Many of the compounds can be represented by the following formula: ##STR1## where A is a hydrocarbyl group derived from an amino acid, X is a free or derivatized amino acid side chain, n is 0 or 1, and R and R' are aliphatic, ether or ester groups. Preferred compounds have one side chain and are partially digestible, achieving reduced caloric value and reducing problems associated with non-metabolizable fat substitutes.
