Abstract

Reduced fat and calorie pourable shortenings, cooking oils, salad oils or similar compositions are disclosed. The nondigestible portion of these compositions contain low levels of solids, yet still exhibit good passive oil loss control. These compositions also have good temperature cycling stability and they impart good organoleptic properties to foods prepared with them. Also disclosed are relatively clear oils with reduced calories, All these pourable compositions comprise specific solid polyol fatty acid polyesters, a liquid nondigestible oil and, optionally, a digestible oil and/or a hardstock fat.
