Patent ID: 8679569

Claim:
A composition comprising a blend of sucrose polyesters, wherein each sucrose polyester comprises a sucrose moiety and a plurality of fatty acid ester moieties, wherein: a. from about 90% to about 100% of the sucrose polyesters in the blend are selected from a group consisting of octa-, hepta-, and hexa-sucrose polyesters; b. from about 25% to about 50% of the combined fatty acid ester moieties of the sucrose polyesters in the blend comprise a carbon chain that contains trans content; and c. from about 60% to about 100% of the combined fatty acid ester moieties of the sucrose polyesters in the blend comprise a C 18 carbon chain, with the balance of the fatty acid ester moieties of the sucrose polyesters in the blend comprising a carbon chain independently selected from C 12 -C 17 or C 19 -C 22 carbon chains; and further wherein the sucrose polyester blend comprises, based on total weight of the sucrose polyester blend, a Solid Fat Index of: d. from about 45% to about 75% solids at 10° C.; e. from about 5% to about 25% solids at 30° C.; and f. from about 5% to about 10%, solids at 40° C.
