Claims
- 1. A composition useful as a reduced calorie fat substitute comprising:
- (a) a liquid non-linked esterified propoxylated glycerin; and
- (b) a linked esterified propoxylated glycerin comprised of:
- (i) at least two polycarbonyl linking segments;
- (ii) at least three glyceryl segments; and
- (iii) at least one C.sub.6 -C.sub.24 monocarboxylic fatty-acid esterified oxypropylene segment attached to a glyceryl segment;
- wherein each glyceryl segment is connected to a polycarbonyl linking segment either directly or through an oxypropylene segment and the linked esterified propoxylated glycerin has a molecular weight greater than 6000.
- 2. The composition of claim 1 wherein the proportion of liquid non-linked esterified propoxylated glycerin to linked esterified propoxylated glycerin is from 1:99 to 99:1.
- 3. The composition of claim 1 additionally comprising a liquid triglyceride.
- 4. The composition of claim 1 wherein the linked esterified propoxylated glycerin has a viscosity of greater than 1000 cps as measured by Brookfield viscometer at 100.degree. F.
- 5. The composition of claim 1 wherein the polycarbonyl linking segments have the general structure ##STR12## wherein X is an aliphatic moiety comprised of 1 to 10 carbon atoms and up to 2 carbon-carbon double bonds.
- 6. The composition of claim 1 wherein the polycarbonyl linking segments have the general structure ##STR13## wherein w is 2 or 3 and A represents the hydrocarbyl portion of a dimerized or trimerized fatty acid.
- 7. The composition of claim 1 wherein the C.sub.6 -C.sub.24 monocarboxylic fatty acid-esterified oxypropylene segment has the general structure ##STR14## wherein z is an integer of from 1 to 10 and R is a C.sub.5 -C.sub.23 hydrocarbyl group.
- 8. A method of suppressing the tendency of a liquid non-linked esterified propoxylated glycerin fat substitute to exhibit anal oil leakage when consumed comprising incorporating into said liquid non-linked esterified propoxylated glycerin fat substitute a linked esterified propoxylated glycerin comprised of:
- (a) at least two polycarbonyl linking segments;
- (b) at least three glyceryl segments; and
- (c) at least one C.sub.6 -C.sub.24 monocarboxylic fatty acid esterified oxypropylene segment attached to a glyceryl segment, wherein each glyceryl segment is connected to a polycarbonyl linking segment either directly or through an oxypropylene segment and the linked esterified propoxylated glycerin has a molecular weight greater than 6000.
