repeatedly producing fry good in appearance and flavor without causing
coloring of an oil and emission of offensive odor in fry workshops, daily
dish shops, eating houses, restaurants, etc. where fry is mass-produced
over a long period of time using a diglyceride-containing oil composition
having an effect to reduce the accumulation of body fat to prevent
