Claim:
A fat-containing composition comprising a) a fat component having about 40% or less by weight of trans fat wherein the fat component includes oils, shortenings, fats or mixtures thereof; and b) a cyclodextrin; wherein at least about 25% of the cyclodextrin in the composition is bound to fat of the fat component to form a fat/cyclodextrin complex, and wherein a composition consisting of the fat component and the cyclodextrin has a viscosity that is greater than 2 times the viscosity of the fat component without the cyclodextrin, and wherein the cyclodextrin is present and bound to the fat in an amount sufficient to provide a composition consisting of the fat component and the cyclodextrin that has a Solid Fat Content at 21.1° C. that is at least about 1% higher than a Solid Fat Content at 21.1° C. of the fat component without the cyclodextrin.
