Abstract
Solid nondigestible polyol polyesters wherein the ester groups contain (1) fatty acid radicals having at least one hydroxyl group that is esterified with another fatty acid or other organic radical, and (2) at least about 15% long chain (C.sub.20 or higher) saturated fatty acid radicals. The molar ratio of (1):(2) is from about 0.1:7.9 to about 3:5. These solid nondigestible polyol polyesters are very efficient passive oil loss control agents for liquid nondigestible oils. Edible fat-containing products including nondigestible fats containing these solid polyol polyesters can be less waxy tasting due to the lower level of solids required for passive oil loss control.
