Abstract

Substitute milk fat especially as a replacement fat in infant formulations comprises 2-saturated glycerides especially 2-palmitic acid glycerides, in which the 1, 3 positions are randomly occupied substantially by different shorter chain and/or unsaturated fatty acids. These glycerides are prepared by selective rearrangement of glycerides using 1, 3-regiospecific lipase enzymes as rearrangement catalysts, preferably in acidolysis rearrangement using unsaturated acid or alkyl ester thereof.
