Claims3
A method for producing a fat, which comprises adding an organic acid selected from the group consisting of citric acid, ascorbic acid, succinic acid, maleic acid and oxalic acid to a mixture (MX) which is a selective interesterification reaction product and whose total content of triglycerides (TG) and fatty acids or their monohydric alcohol esters (FA) is 95% or larger to form a second mixture, and distillation-refining the second mixture to remove a part or all of fatty acids or their monohydric alcohol esters (FA) from the second mixture, suppressing isomerization of desired 1,3-saturated-2-unsaturated triglycerides (SUS), wherein after removal of only a part of fatty acids or their monohydric alcohol esters (FA) from the second mixture, a fresh fatty acid or its monohydric alcohol ester (FA) is added to the second mixture to form a third mixture, followed by subjecting the third mixture to the selective interesterification reaction, wherein the removal of only a part of fatty acids or their monohydric alcohol esters (FA) from the second mixture is performed at a temperature of at least 15°C. lower than that at which the removal of all of fatty acids or their monohydric alcohol esters (FA) from the second mixture is performed.
