Abstract
Novel fat compositions are provided suitable for use as cocoabutter substitutes, which consist substantially of symmetrical disaturated triglycerides of C.sub.16 and C.sub.18 fatty acids. They may be obtained by interesterification in the presence or absence of the free fatty acids, using a 1,3-selective lipase enzyme catalyst to effect a limited degree of randomization in these positions.

Cocoabutter replacement fat composition consisting essentially of a ternary triglyceride mixture of POP, POSt and StOSt represented on a ternary X/Y/Z composition diagram as exemplified in FIG. 1 under the curve Z.sup.2 =4 XY, where X=StOSt, Y=POP and Z=POSt, outside a polygonal figure bounding the composition of POP, POSt and StOSt in natural fats and their blends on the diagram as exemplified in FIG. 1.
Novel fats having a composition as shown by points (4), (5), (6), (8) and (11) on FIG. 2 of the accompanying drawings.
