Abstract

The present invention addresses the problem of providing an oily food, such as chocolate or cream, which does not require tempering treatment and in which the occurrence of blooming and the like is suppressed even when a large amount of cocoa butter is used; and producing method thereof. The present invention provides an oily product containing a fat/oil as a continuous phase. The fat/oil contains SOS, HMM, HLM, HLL, HHM and HHL. The mass ratio (HLM/HLL) of the HLM content to the HLL content is 1.0 or more. The mass ratio (HMM+HLM+HLL+HHM+HHL)/SOS of the total content of HMM, HLM, HLL, HHM and HHL to the SOS content is 0.9 to 8. In HMM, HLM, HLL, HHM and HHL, fatty acids having a carbon number of 20 or more occupy less than 3% by mass of the total constituent fatty acids H.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An oily food containing fats/oils in a continuous phase,
wherein the fats/oils contain SOS, HMM, HLM, HLL, HHM and HHL,
the mass ratio (HLM/HLL) of the content of HLM to the content of HLL is 1.0 or more,
the mass ratio (HMM+HLM+HLL+HHM+HHL)/SOS of the total content (HMM+HLM+HLL+HHM+HHL) of HMM, HLM, HLL, HHM and HHL to the content of SOS is 0.9 to 8,
the proportion of fatty acids having 20 or more carbon atoms with respect to the total amount of constituent fatty acids H in the above HMM, HLM, HLL, HHM and HHL is less than 3% by mass,
(wherein S, O, H, M, L, SOS, HMM, HLM, HLL, HHM and HHL have the following meanings,
S: saturated fatty acids having 16 to 24 carbon atoms,
O: oleic acid,
H: saturated fatty acids having 14 to 24 carbon atoms,
M: fatty acids having 6 to 10 carbon atoms,
L: lauric acid,
SOS: triacylglycerols in which S is ester-bonded at positions 1 and 3 and O is ester-bonded at position 2 of glycerol,
HMM: triacylglycerols in which 1 molecule of H and 2 molecules of M are ester-bonded to glycerol,
HLM: triacylglycerols in which 1 molecule of each of H, L and M is ester-bonded to glycerol,
HLL: triacylglycerols in which 1 molecule of H and 2 molecules of L are ester-bonded to glycerol,
HHM: triacylglycerols in which 2 molecules of H and 1 molecule of M are ester-bonded to glycerol,
HHL: triacylglycerols in which 2 molecules of H and 1 molecule of L are ester-bonded to glycerol.

2. The oily food according to claim 1 , wherein the content of HLL is larger than the content of HMM (HLL>HMM).

3. The oily food according to claim 1 , wherein the content of HHL is larger than the content of HHM (HHL>HHM).

4. The oily food according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio (HMM+HLM+HLL)/(HHM+HHL) of the total content (HMM+HLM+HLL) of HMM, HLM and HLL to the total content (HHM+HHL) of HHM and HHL is 0.7 to 1.3.

5. The oily food according to claim 1 , wherein the content of C24 to 30 of the fats/oils is 0.3 to 6% by mass, wherein C24 to C30 represents triacylglycerols in which a total number of carbon atoms of three fatty acids ester-bonded to glycerol is 24 to 30.

6. The oily food according to claim 1 , wherein the fats/oils include cocoa butter.

7. The oily food according to claim 1 , wherein the fats/oils include transesterified fats/oils containing 2 to 30% by mass of medium-chain fatty acid triacylglycerol, 30 to 95% by mass of lauric fats/oils and 0 to 60% by mass of non-lauric fats/oils as raw fats/oils.

8. A method of producing the oily food containing fats/oils in a continuous phase according to claim 1 , the method comprising
adjusting a mass ratio (HMM+HLM+HLL+HHM+HHL)/SOS of the total content (HMM+HLM+HLL+HHM+HHL) of HMM, HLM, HLL, HHM and HHL to the content of SOS contained in the fats/oils to 0.9 to 8 using at least cocoa butter and transesterified fats/oils, wherein the transesterified fats/oils contain 2 to 30% by mass of medium-chain fatty acid triacylglycerol, 30 to 95% by mass of lauric fats/oils and 0 to 60% by mass of non-lauric fats/oils as raw fats/oils.
