Abstract

Blends containing a vegetable fat or a blend of vegetable fats and at least 0.1 wt % of a composition comprising ursolic acid and oleanolic acid in a weight ratio of 1:00 to 99:1 display a number of benefits such as high crystallization rates. This modification of the crystallization rate can be used to achieve a number of beneficial effects in the final fat blend or in the final food product containing the blend.
