Claims
- 1. A cacao butter substitute composition which consists essentially of:
- (a) at least 80 percent by weight, based on the total weight of the composition, of 1,3-disaturated-2-oleoyl glycerols having a member selected from the group consisting of palmitoyl groups, stearoyl groups and palmitoyl and stearoyl groups contained at the 1 and 3 positions of said glycerols, said 1,3-disaturated-2-oleoyl glycerols consisting of:
- (a-1) up to 10 percent by weight of 1,3-dipalmitoyl-2oleoyl glycerol, based on the total weight of (a),
- (a-2) 25 to 45 percent by weigh of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-3-stearoyl glycerol, based on the total weight of (a), and
- (a-3) 45 to 70 percent by weight of 1,3-distearoyl-2-oleoyl glycerol, based on the weight of (a), and
- (b) up to 20 percent by weight, based on the total weight of the composition, of glycerides comprising:
- (b-1) up to 10 percent by weight of triglycerides having two unsaturations in the molecule,
- (b-2) up to 6 percent by weight of diglycerides,
- (b-3) up to 5 percent by weight of 1,2-disaturated-3-oleoyl glycerols,
- (b-4) up to 5 percent by weight of trisaturated glycerides and
- (b-5) up to 5 percent by weight of triglycerides having three or more unsaturations in the molecule.
- 2. A composition as claimed in claim 1, in which (a) consists of at least 90 wt. % of (a-2) and (a-3).
- 3. A composition as claimed in claim 1, in which the weight ratio of stearoyl groups to palmitoyl groups in (a) is from (2.0/1.0) to (6.0/1.0).
- 4. A composition as claimed in claim 3 in which component (a) contains at least 4.8 percent by weight of 1,3-dipalmitoyl-2-oleoyl glycerol, based on the total weight of (a).
- 5. A composition as claimed in claim 3 which has been prepared by effecting an ester interchange reaction between a glyceride oil and palmitic acid or stearic acid, in the presence of Rhizopus delemar lipase as a catalyst which selectively acts on the 1 and 3 positions of the glyceride oil.
- 6. A composition as claimed in claim 3 in which component (a) consists of from 4.8 to 8.0 percent by weight of (a-1), from 33.9 to 40.5 percent by weight of (a-2) and from 50.1 to 62 percent by weight of (a-3).
- 7. A composition as claimed in claim 1, in which (a) is present in an amount of 86.5 percent by weight and comprises 8.0 percent by weight of (a-1), 40.5 percent by weight of (a-2) and 50.1 percent by weight of (a-3).
- 8. A composition as claimed in claim 1, which (a) is present in an amount of 88.9 percent by weight and comprises 4.8 percent by weight of (a-1), 33.9 percent by weight of (a-2) and 62.0 percent by weight of (a-3).
- 9. A cacao butter substitute composition which consists essentially of:
- (a) at least 80 percent by weight, based on the total weight of the composition, of 1,3-disaturated-2-oleoyl glycerols consisting of:
- (a-1) from 4.8 to 8.0 percent by weight of 1,3-dipalmitoyl-2-oleoyl glycerol, based on the total weight of (a),
- (a-2) 33.9 to 40.5 percent by weight of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-3-stearoyl glycerol, based on the total weight of (a), and
- (a-3) 50.1 to 62.0 percent by weight of 1,3-distearoyl-2-oleoyl glycerol, based on the weight of (a) the weight ratio of stearoyl groups to palmitoyl groups being in the range of (2.0/1.0) to (6.0/1.0), and
- (b) up to 20 percent by weight, based on the total weight of the composition, of glycerides comprising:
- (b-1) up to 10 percent by weight of triglycerides having two unsaturations in the molecule,
- (b-2) up to 6 percent by weight of diglycerides,
- (b-3) up to 5 percent by weight of 1,2-disaturated-3-oleoyl glycerols,
- (b-4) up to 5 percent by weight of trisaturated glycerides and
- (b-5) up to 5 percent by weight of triglycerides having three or more unsaturations in the molecule, said composition having been prepared by effecting an ester interchange reaction between a glyceride oil and palmitic acid or stearic acid, in the presence of Rhizopus delemar lipase as a catalyst which selectively acts on the 1 and 3 positions of the glyceride oil.
