Abstract
Nondigestible fat compositions useful as replacements for triglyceride fats or oils in foods are disclosed. These compositions have relatively flat solid Fat Content (SFC) profile slopes between typical room temperature and body temperature. The nondigestible fat compositions comprise a liquid nondigestible oil and nondigestible solid polyol polyester particles dispersed in the oil in an amount sufficient to control passive oil loss. The solid polyol polyester particles of the composition herein comprise from about 10% to 50% polyol polyester polymer and from 50% to about 90% polyol polyester monomer. The polyol polyester material which forms these solid particles must contain a relatively high proportion of long chain saturated fatty acid ester groups. Edible fat-containing products comprising these nondigestible fats can be less waxy tasting due to the lower level of solids required for passive oil loss control.
