Abstract
Process cheese products which are reduced in calories and fat are produced by combining high moisture, fat free, skim milk cheese, with a fatty substance which is non-absorbable non-digestible, and lower in net caloric efficiency than butterfat, animal fat, or vegetable fat. A suitable fatty substance is a polyol polyester, such as, a sucrose polyester.
