Abstract
The physical properties of diacetin fats such as diacetopalmitin, diacetostearin, and diacetoarachidin, diacetobehenin are modulated by mixing them with about 10% to about 16% crystal modifier fats that are triglycerides bearing one short C.sub.2 to C.sub.4 acid residue and two long, saturated C.sub.16 to C.sub.22 fatty acid residues per molecule. The modified diacetin fats, which exhibit improved snap, gloss, hardness, bloom resistance, and mold release, are suitable for use in edible coatings, especially confectionery coatings.
