The present invention relates to an edible granular structuring
composition suitable for the production of structured food products
having a low content of saturated and trans fatty acids, the granular
composition comprising 5-100 wt. % of a glyceride composition and 95-0
wt. % of at least one non-glyceride edible solid material, wt. % being
expressed with respect to the total weight of the structuring
composition, wherein the glyceride composition comprises a blend of 5 to
85 wt. % of a non-lauric, hard or semi hard fat, containing less than 5
wt. % of TFA with respect to the amount of hard or semi hard fat and 95
to 15 wt. % of a liquid part, the liquid part being selected from at
least one liquid oil or at least one liquid diglyceride composition or a
blend of two or more of those, where TFA means trans fatty acids; wherein
the glyceride composition comprises an amount of fat crystallized in a
stable crystalline form; wherein the glyceride composition contains at
least 5 wt. % of symmetric SUS-triglycerides with respect to the total
amount of glyceride composition wherein S is a saturated fatty acid
having 16-18 carbon atoms and U is an unsaturated fatty acid having 18
carbon atoms or more and wherein the glyceride composition has an STFA
content of less than 55 wt. wherein STFA is the sum of the saturated and
trans fatty acids present in the glyceride composition.
