Abstract
Disclosed herein are compositions that include a blend of sucrose polyesters, wherein each sucrose polyester includes a sucrose moiety and a plurality of fatty acid ester moieties, wherein from about 50% to about 90%, by weight, of the combined fatty acid ester moieties of the sucrose polyesters in the blend are palmitic fatty acid ester moieties.
Claims18
A composition comprising a blend of sucrose polyesters, wherein each sucrose polyester comprises a sucrose moiety and a plurality of fatty acid ester moieties, wherein:
- (a) from about 90% to about 100% by weight of the sucrose polyesters in the blend are selected from a group consisting of octa-, hepta-, and hexa-sucrose polyesters;
- and
- (b) from about 50% to about 75%, by weight, of the plural fatty acid ester moieties of the sucrose polyesters in the blend are palmitic fatty acid ester moieties, with the balance of the fatty acid ester moieties of the sucrose polyesters in the blend comprising a carbon chain independently of C12-C14 or C18-C22 carbon chains;
- or
- (c) from about 50% to about 90% by weight of the plural fatty acid ester moieties of the sucrose polyesters in the blend comprise a C16 carbon chain, with the balance of the fatty acid ester moieties of the sucrose polyesters in the blend comprising a carbon chain independently of C12-C14 or C18-C22 carbon chains.
