OIL AND FAT COMPOSITION AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME
The purpose of the present invention is to provide an oil and fat composition having excellent milk feeling or milk flavor and a method for manufacturing the same. An oil and fat composition which contains 50% by mass to 100% by mass of milk fat and has a pentanal/hexanal ration by mol, based on volatile components at 180° C., of 0.15 to 0.70. A method for manufacturing an oil and fat composition, said method comprising a step for heating a starting oil and fat composition, which contains 50% by mass to 100% by mass of milk fat, while supplying oxygen to give an oxidized oil and fat composition which has a pentanal/hexanal ratio by mol, based on volatile components at 180° C., of 0.15 to 0.70.
1 . An oil and fat composition containing 50% by mass to 100% by mass of milk fat and having a pentanal/hexanal ratio by mol of 0.15 to 0.70 based on volatile components at 180° C.
2 . The oil and fat composition according to claim 1 , wherein the peroxide value of said oil and fat composition is 15 to 150.
3 . The oil and fat composition according to claim 1 , wherein the oil and fat content of said oil and fat composition is 90% by mass to 100% by mass.
4 . A food product including the oil and fat composition according to claim 1 .
5 . The food product according to claim 4 , including 0.01 ppm to 20,000 ppm of said oil and fat composition with respect to said food product.
6 . The food product according to claim 4 , wherein the edible oil and fat content of said food product is 10% by mass to 100% by mass.
7 . A method for manufacturing an oil and fat composition, the method including a step for heating a raw material oil and fat composition including 50% by mass to 100% by mass of milk fat while supplying oxygen thereto, and obtaining an oxidized oil and fat composition having a pentanal/hexanal ratio by mol of 0.15 to 0.70 based on volatile components at 180° C.
8 . The manufacturing method according to claim 7 , wherein said raw material oil and fat composition includes 70% by mass to 100% by mass of milk fat.
9 . The manufacturing method according to claim 7 , wherein said heating is performed at a temperature of 75° C. to 150° C.
10 . The manufacturing method according to claim 7 , wherein said heating is performed for 1 hour to 72 hours.
11 . The manufacturing method according to claim 7 , wherein said supplying of oxygen is performed at a rate of 0.02 to 2 L/minute per 1 kg of said raw material oil and fat composition.
12 . The manufacturing method according to claim 7 , wherein the oil and fat content of said raw material oil and fat composition is 90% by mass to 100% by mass.
13 . The manufacturing method according to claim 7 , wherein said milk fat is anhydrous milk fat.
14 . The manufacturing method according to claim 7 , wherein the peroxide value of said oxidized oil and fat composition is 15 to 150.
15 . The manufacturing method according to claim 14 , wherein said peroxide value is 20 to 120.
16 . A method for imparting a milk flavor to a food product, the method characterized by comprising adding the oil and fat composition according to claim 1 to a food product.
