Method for producing powdered oil and/or fat composition

A method for producing a powdered fat composition containing an fat component that includes one or more XXX-type triglycerides with a fatty acid residue X having x carbon atoms at positions 1 to 3 of glycerin, wherein the number of carbon atoms, x, is an integer selected from 16 to 20, and the fat component includes a β-type fat, and the powdered fat composition has a loose bulk density of 0.05 to 0.6 g/cm3, the method for producing a powdered fat composition comprising the following steps:

• (a) preparing a solid fat composition raw material containing XXX-type triglycerides;
• (b) heating the solid fat composition raw material obtained in the step (a) at a temperature below a melting point thereof to transform the fat component in the solid fat composition raw material into β-type fat, thereby obtaining a β-type fat-containing composition raw material;
• and
• (c) pulverizing the β-type fat-containing composition raw material obtained in the step (b) by collision among raw materials without mechanical pulverization, thereby obtaining a powdered fat composition.
