Abstract
Fatty acid esters of sucrose wherein the fatty acid groups consist essentially of short chain fatty acid radicals containing from 2 to 10 carbon atoms and long chain fatty acid radicals containing from 20 to 24 carbon atoms in a molar ratio of short chain:long chain radicals of 3:5 to 5:3, the said esters having a degree of esterification of about 7 to 8. The compounds are useful as nondigestible substitutes for solid fats in foods.
