Abstract
Esterified alkoxylated mono- and diglycerides suitable for use as reduced calorie fat substitutes in food products may be produced by alkoxylating a tertiary alkyl partial ether of glycerin with an epoxide and then reacting the alkoxylated glycerin tertiary alkyl partial ether thereby obtained with a fatty acid under acid-catalyzed conditions. Separate deprotection and esterification steps are not required, resulting in a considerably streamlined process as compared to alternative methods of synthesizing alkoxylated fat substitutes having one or two fatty acid acyl groups attached directly to glycerin.
