Patent ID: 8124158

Claim:
A fat-and-oil composition comprising a fat-and-oil A, a fat-and-oil B, a fat-and-oil D and an optional fat-and-oil E all of which are derived from vegetable fats-and-oils, wherein fat-and-oil E when present becomes the residual fat-and-oil ingredient when the total content of fat-and-oil A, fat-and-oil B and fat-and-oil D in all the fat-and-oil ingredients derived from vegetable fats-and-oils is less than 100% by mass, and fat-and-oil A is at least one fat-and-oil selected from the group consisting of: (1) lauric fats-and-oils, (2) fractionated oils of lauric fats-and-oils, (3) extremely hardened oils of lauric fats-and-oils, and (4) transesterified oils each of which is obtained by subjecting to transesterification reaction a fat-and-oil containing at least one fat-and-oil of lauric fats-and-oils, fractionated oils of lauric fats-and-oils and extremely hardened oils of lauric fats-and-oils, and wherein the content of lauric acid in all the constitutive fatty acids is 15 to 60% by mass, fat-and-oil B is a transesterified oil obtained by subjecting the following fat-and-oil C as derived from vegetable fats-and-oils to transesterification reaction, fat-and-oil C is a fat-and-oil wherein the content of saturated fatty acids having 16 or more carbon atoms in all the constitutive fatty acids is 20% by mass or more but less than 75% by mass, and the content of unsaturated fatty acids having 16 or more carbon atoms in all the constitutive fatty acids is 25% by mass or more but less than 70% by mass, and fat-and-oil D is a fat-and-oil which contains XOX-type triacyl glycerols in a content of 30% by mass or more, wherein XOX-type triacyl glycerol; a triacyl glycerol wherein the fatty acids at the 1-position and the 3-position of the triacyl glycerol are X and the fatty acid at the 2-position is O, X; a saturated fatty acid having 16 or more carbon atoms, O; oleic acid, and fat-and-oil E is a fat-and-oil ingredient which is derived from vegetable fats and oils and does not belong to any of fat-and-oil A, fat-and-oil B or fat-and-oil D, and provided that (a) the content of fat-and-oil A in all the fat-and-oil ingredients derived from vegetable fats and oils is 1 to 4% by mass, (b) the content of fat-and-oil B in all the fat-and-oil ingredients derived from vegetable fats and oils is 10 to 20% by mass, and (c) the content of XOX-type triacyl glycerols in all the fat-and-oil ingredients derived from vegetable fats and oils is 40% by mass or more but less than 60% by mass.
