Abstract

An unsaturated or low saturated frying oil which imparts the beefy or tallow flavor to foods that is characteristic of animal fats is disclosed. This oil is made by a process of esterifying glycerine with the unsaturated fraction of animal fat and then deodorizing or refining the resultant triglyceride. The unsaturated fraction of the animal fat contains minor fatty acids which produce this flavor on heating. Usually less than 5 mg of cholesterol/100 gm is in the oil.
