To provide a fats and oils composition for confectionery that exhibits excellent resistance to bloom during long-term storage, even when the CB content is increased to a level where the cocoa
flavor is pleasantly noticeable.SOLUTION: In a first embodiment, a fats and oils composition for confectionery contains the following fats and oils (A) and satisfies the following conditions (1) and (2). Fats and oils (A): A random ester exchange fat or oil comprising fat or oil (A-1) having a
lauric acid (La) content of 35 to 60
mass% in its constituent fatty acids, and fat or oil (A-2) having a
palmitic acid (P) content of 35
mass% or more in its constituent fatty acids. (1) The content of fat or oil (A) in the
oil phase is 80
mass% or more. (2) The content of
lauric acid in the constituent fatty acids is 20 mass% or more. In a second embodiment, a fats and oils composition for confectionery satisfies the following conditions (1) to (3). (1) The content of
SSS triglycerides in the constituent triglycerides is 40 mass% or more. (2) The content of SaSbSc triglycerides in
SSS triglycerides is 5 mass% or more. (3) The ratio SFC-25 / SFC-35, defined as the ratio of the
solid fat content at 25°C SFC-25(%) to the
solid fat content at 35°C SFC-35(%), is 4.3 to 7.5. Where S indicates a
saturated fatty acid, Sa indicates
lauric acid (La) or
myristic acid (M), Sb and Sc indicate saturated fatty acids having 16 or more carbon atoms, and the total number of carbon atoms in Sa, Sb and Sc is 46.SELECTED DRAWING: None
