Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Object: To provide a chocolate or chocolate-like food capable of inhibiting occurrence of low-temperature bloom. Means for solving problem: A chocolate or chocolate-like food of the present invention comprises an oil and fat, wherein the oil and fat comprises 50 to 85% by weight of triglyceride having an oleic acid at position 2 and saturated fatty acids having 16 or more carbon atoms at positions 1 and 3 (XOX type triglyceride); and 5 to 18% by weight of triglyceride in which two oleic acids are bound and one saturated fatty acid having 16 or more carbon atoms is bound (XO2 type triglyceride). According to such a chocolate or chocolate-like food, the low temperature bloom can be inhibited.
