An object of the present invention is to provide a fat and oil composition
for spreads having good oral solubility and spreadability without
greasiness. A fat and oil composition for spreads of the present
invention is composed of a continuous fat and oil phase and a water
phase, characterized in that the fat and oil phase comprises (a) a
liquid-state fat and oil containing, as a main ingredient, triglycerides
having fatty acids with 8 to 10 carbon atoms in an amount of not less
than 10% by mass of the total constitutional fatty acids; (b) a low
melting transesterified fat and oil obtained by subjecting 40 to 90 parts
by mass of the palm based fat and oil and 60 to 10 parts by mass of a
liquid-state fat and oil to transesterification with a
1,3-position-specific lipase; and (c) a solid-form fat and oil having an
open-tube melting point under increasing temperature of 38.degree. C. or
higher.
