There is provided a low oil cream composition which does not require a
large amount of any particular emulsifying agent but has good physical
properties after the whipping as well as good flavor and melting property
in the mouth, even a low oily ingredient content such as not greater than
40%, and also provides is an oil-and-fat feedstock for production of the
cream composition.
The oil-and-fat feedstock for production of the cream composition is
obtained by formulating not less than 30% of SUS-type triglycerides and 5
to 60% of a lauric-type oil-and-fat ingredient. A low-oil cream
composition can be produced by the feedstock alone or, by further adding a
cream containing milk fat to the cream. Then, it is possible to provide a
low-oil cream composition having flavor and body comparable with fresh
cream and to provide a process for production thereof.
