atoms and long chain saturated straight chain fatty acid
radicals containing from about 20 to about 24 carbon atoms,
the molar ratio of short chain to long chain radicals being
from about 2:6 to 4:4, the degree of esterification being from
about 7 to about 8 and the melting point being at least 47EC,
provided however, when the short chain radical is C the long
12
chain radical is C .

25. A food composition comprising:
a) a nondigestible oil having a melting point below
37EC, and
b) A fatty acid ester of sucrose, the fatty acid
groups consisting essentially of short chain saturated
straight chain fatty acid radicals containing from about
2 to about 12 carbon atoms and long chain saturated
straight chain fatty acid radicals containing from about
20 to about 24 carbon atoms, the molar ratio of short
chain to long chain radicals being from about 2:6 to 4:4,
the degree of esterification being from about 7 to
about 8 and the melting point being at least 47EC,
provided however, when the short chain radical is C the
12
long chain radical is C ;
22
wherein the weight ratio of a) to b) in said composition is
from 9:1 to 4:1 so as to prevent the anal leakage problem
associated with the ingestion of the nondigestible oil.
