AI Technical Summary
Existing chocolate products with soft textures face issues of short shelf life and unsuitability for industrial mass production due to high water content, and when soft oils are blended, they result in slow solidification, deteriorating productivity and processability.
An oil and fat composition is formulated with specific triglyceride ratios, including 5% or less of X3, 65-85% of X2U, 50-70% of XOX, 8-30% of XU2, and controlled mass ratios to achieve good melt-in-the-mouth properties, soft texture, and solidification properties.
The composition results in chocolate with good melt-in-the-mouth properties, a soft texture, and effective solidification, suitable for industrial production and long shelf life.

Abstract
Description
Oil composition
[0001] The present invention relates to an oil composition suitable for the production of oily foods such as chocolate.
[0002] Among oily foods mainly made of oil, chocolate generally has the property of being solid near room temperature but melting rapidly near body temperature due to the characteristics of the oil contained. Therefore, chocolate is a confectionery with a good texture when eaten.
[0003] There are various texture products in chocolate. In addition to chocolate with a hard texture like bar chocolate, there is chocolate with a soft texture. As chocolate with a soft texture, chocolates such as Patent Documents 1 to 4 have been proposed. However, Patent Documents 1 to 4 relate to fresh chocolate and water-containing chocolate such as ganache. Since water-containing chocolate contains a relatively large amount of water, there are problems such as a short shelf life and being unsuitable for industrial mass production.
[0004] Generally, as a means to soften the texture of chocolate, it is conceivable to use soft oil in the production of chocolate. However, usually, when soft oil is blended into chocolate, the solidification rate of the chocolate becomes slow, and as a result, the productivity such as the formability and processability of the chocolate deteriorates. Therefore, chocolate with a soft texture needs to have good solidification properties.
[0005] Against the above background, there has been a demand for the development of an oil suitable for the production of oily foods such as chocolate having a good texture, a soft texture, and good solidification properties.
[0006] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2022-153868, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2019-198297, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2017-209086, International Publication No. 2014 / 163011
