Abstract
A fat formulation can include triacylglycerides that can be made of glycerol esterified with straight-chain saturated fatty acids, where a solid fat content as a function of temperature of the triacylglycerides differs from a solid fat content of butterfat by at most 0.1 at any temperature between 0° C. and 40° C. A fat formulation can include triglycerides that include straight-chain, saturated fatty acids selected from a distribution of fatty acids with between 4 and 24 carbon atoms, where the distribution comprises a non-monotonic change in relative fatty acid content between the fatty acids with between 4 and 24 carbon atoms.
Claims11
A fat formulation consisting of:
- at least 95% by mass triglycerides consisting of straight-chain, saturated fatty acids;
- wherein the straight-chain, saturated fatty acids comprise a distribution of fatty acids with between 6 and 16 carbon atoms, wherein the distribution comprises a non-monotonic change in relative fatty acid content between the fatty acids with between 6 and 16 carbon atoms, wherein the distribution of fatty acids consists of fatty acids with an even number of carbon atoms, wherein the distribution of fatty acids consists of:
- less than 0.5% by mass C6:0 fatty acid;
- less than 0.5% by mass C7:0 fatty acid;
- between 10 and 15% by mass C8:0 fatty acid;
- less than 0.5% by mass C9:0 fatty acid;
- between 20 and 30% by mass C10:0 fatty acid;
- less than 0.5% by mass C11:0 fatty acid;
- between 25 and 35% by mass C12:0 fatty acid;
- less than 0.5% by mass C13:0 fatty acid;
- between 0 and 5% by mass C14:0 fatty acid;
- less than 0.5% by mass C15:0 fatty acid;
- and
- between 25 and 40% by mass C16:0 fatty acid;
- wherein the total percentage adds up to 100%;
- and
- at most 5% by mass of an additive selected from the group consisting of flavorants, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, colorants, and combinations thereof.
