Abstract

Hardstock fat compositions of the present invention are comprise triacylglycerides containing one linoleic acid acyl group (C.sub.18:2) and two acyl groups independently selected from C.sub.18:0 -C.sub.26:0 saturated fatty acyl groups. The hardstock fats are essentially free of cholesterolemic C.sub.12:0 -C.sub.16:0 saturated fatty acids, yet retain all of the desirable characteristics which those cholesterolemic fatty acids impart. The hardstock fats are useful as components in comestible products, particularly in plastic shortenings.
