REDUCED CALORIE SNACK FOOD PRODUCT COMPRISING A REDUCED CALORIE FAT COMPOSITION OR FRIED IN SAID FAT COMPOSITION OR COATED WITH SAID FAT COMPOSITION

摘要

Reduced calorie, low moisture cooked snack food products which have desirably low greasiness and acceptable lubriciousness are disclosed. These low moisture snack food products comprise an edible substrate and a reduced calorie fat composition. The reduced calorie fat composition which is used has a Waxy/Greasy Thixotropic Area Value ranging from about 25 kPa/s to about 150 kPa/s and comprises from about 70 % to 100 % of a mondigestible fat component and from 0 % to about 30 % of a triglyceride fat or oil component. The nondigestible fat component contains a liquid nondigestible oil and solid nondigestible particles of polyol polyester. These solid particles are dispersed in the liquid nondigestible oil in an amount sufficient to control passive oil loss. The nondigestible fat component further has a Solid Fat Content profile slope between room temperature and body temperature of from 0 to about -0.75 % solids/ DEG F. The low moisture snack food products are characterized by fat contents ranging from about 23 % to about 32 %.
