Abstract

Novel fat mimetic compounds and their uses in food compositions are disclosed. These compounds comprise a backbone to which is attached one hydroxyl group acylated with a fatty acid, forming a pendant carboxy substituent (--O.sub.2 C--R', where R' is an aliphatic group having 1 to 30 carbons), and one carboxylic acid group esterified with a fatty alcohol, forming a pendant carboxylate substituent (--CO.sub.2 R', with R' as defined above).
