Abstract
The present invention addresses the problem of providing a non-lauric, non-trans, and non-tempering oil and/or fat for chocolate that is less likely to have blooming over a long period of time even in the case of chocolate containing a large amount of cacao components or cocoa butter. The aforementioned problem is solved by incorporating, into a typical non-lauric, non-trans, and non-tempering oil and/or fat for chocolate, a specific amount of a triglyceride bound with one behenic acid, one saturated fatty acid having from 16 to 20 carbons, and one unsaturated fatty acid having from 16 to 20 carbons.
Claims20
A non-lauric, non-trans, and non-tempering oil and/or fat for chocolate, the oil and/or fat satisfying all of the following conditions:
- a S2U triglyceride content being from 50 to 85 wt. %;
- a proportion of SSU triglycerides in S2U triglycerides being from 0.3 to 0.7;
- a BSU triglyceride content being from 2 to 15 wt. %;
- a ratio of BSU triglycerides to B2U triglycerides (BSU/B2U) being 1 or greater;
- a proportion of a total of BSU and B2U triglycerides in a total of B-bound triglycerides being 0.5 or greater;
- where “S” means a saturated fatty acid having from 16 to 20 carbons, “U” means an unsaturated fatty acid having from 16 to 20 carbons, “B” means behenic acid, and
- “S2U” means a triglyceride bound with two Ss and one U, “SSU” means a triglyceride with S bound at the 2-position and S and U bound at the 1- and 3-positions, “BSU” means a triglyceride bound with one B, one S, and one U, “B2U” means a triglyceride bound with two Bs and one U, and “B-bound triglyceride” means a triglyceride bound with at least one B.
