Abstract
The present invention relates to reduced calorie fats comprising mixtures of reduced calorie triglycerides which are enriched in long chain fatty acid 2-position isomers (MLM triglycerides). In particular, the reduced calorie fats comprise at least about 40% of the long chain fatty acid 2-position isomer. The reduced calorie fats according to the present invention further comprise at least about 85% combined MML and MLM triglycerides, no more than about 5% combined LLM and LML triglycerides, no more than about 2% LLL triglycerides, no more than about 4% MMM triglycerides and no more than about 6% other triglycerides; wherein M=fatty acids selected from the group consisting of C.sub.6 to C.sub.10 saturated fatty acids, and mixtures thereof, and L=fatty acids selected from the group consisting of C.sub.17 to C.sub.26 saturated fatty acids, and mixtures thereof. The reduced calorie fats of the present invention have the following fatty acid composition by weight percent: PA1 (a) from about 15% to about 70% C.sub.6 to C.sub.10 saturated fatty acids; PA1 (b) from about 10% to about 70% C.sub.17 to C.sub.26 saturated fatty acids; PA1 (c) not more than about 10% fatty acids selected from …
