Claim:
A reduced calorie fat composition which comprises: a. from about 70% to about 80% of an edible, substantially nonabsorbable, substantially nondigestible polyol fatty acid polyester which has a melting point less than or equal to 37° C., and has at least 4 fatty acid ester groups, wherein each fatty acid group has from 8 to 22 carbon atoms, and wherein the fatty acid groups in said polyol polyester are formed predominantly from the fatty acids of oleic acid, linoleic acid and mixtures thereof; and b. from about 20% to about 30% reduced calorie triglycerides selected from MMM, MLM, MML, LLM, LML and LLL triglycerides, and mixtures thereof; wherein M is a saturated fatty acid residue selected from (26 to C 6 to C 10 saturated fatty acids, and mixtures thereof; wherein L is a saturated fatty acid residue selected from C 18 to C 24 saturated fatty acids and mixtures thereof; wherein the reduced calorie triglycerides comprise: (1) at least about 90% combined MLM, MML, LLM and LML triglycerides; (2) up to about 10% combined MMM and LLL triglycerides, and wherein the fatty acid composition of the reduced calorie triglycerides comprises: (1) from about 20% to about 65% C 6 to C 10 saturated fatty acids; (2) from about 40% to about 80% C 18 to C 24 saturated fatty acids; and (3) from about 30% to about 70% C 20 to C 24 saturated fatty acids.
