Oil composition

Abstract

The invention relates to oil composition comprising 0.1 to 59.8% by weight of a triglyceride, 40 to 99.7% by weight of a diglyceride, 0.1 to 10% by weight of a monoglyceride and at most 5% by weight of a free fatty acid, wherein contents of ω3 type unsaturated acyl groups having at least 20 carbon atoms and monoenoic acyl groups in acyl groups constituting the diglyceride are 15 to 89.5% by weight and 10 to 84.5% by weight, respectively: and oral medicinal compositions and foods comprising such an oil composition. The oil composition effectively develops physiological functions derived from ω3 type unsaturated fatty acids, such as inhibition of platelet aggregation, and is excellent in effect of facilitating combustion of body fat, oxidation stability, flavor and the like, and also excellent in flowability.

1 . An oil composition comprising 0.1 to 59.8% by weight of a triglyceride, 40 to 99.7% by weight of a diglyceride, 0.1 to 10% by weight of a monoglyceride and at most 5% by weight of a free fatty acid, wherein contents of ω3 type unsaturated acyl groups having at least 20 carbon atoms and monoenoic acyl groups in acyl groups constituting the diglyceride are 15 to 89.5% by weight and 10 to 84.5% by weight, respectively.  
     
     
         2 . The oil composition according to  claim 1 , which further comprises 0.1 to 10% by weight of a glyceride polymer.  
     
     
         3 . The oil composition according to  claim 1  or  2 , wherein the content of ω6 type unsaturated acyl groups in acyl groups constituting the diglyceride is 0.5 to 75% by weight.  
     
     
         4 . An oral medicinal composition comprising the oil composition according to any one of  claims 1  to  3 .  
     
     
         5 . A food comprising the oil composition according to any one of  claims 1  to  3 .
