Abstract
There is disclosed a margarine fat blend comprising a liquid oil and a hardstock predominantly of triglycerides from 2 saturated C.sub.16-18 -fatty acids and 1 saturated C.sub.12-14 -fatty acid. Said hardstock can be used at levels as low as 4% by weight along with liquid oils comprising triglycerides from polyunsaturated fatty acids, for producing diet margarines. A process for producing said margarine fat blend is also disclosed, comprising interesterification of (a) triglycerides rich in C.sub.16-18 -fatty acid residues with (b) triglycerides rich in C.sub.12-14 -fatty acid residues and fractionation of the interesterified mixture.
