PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide: a fat composition which, despite absence of side effects such as bad conditions of digestive tract (diarrhea and the like), contains n-3 fatty acids which have an excellent property to be absorbed into a body, is easy to be processed without precipitation of fat crystals even at an ordinary temperature, and has a good flavor and a method for producing the same.SOLUTION: A fat composition comprises, among constituent fatty acid residues therein, 20 to 60 wt% of n-3 polyfunctional unsaturated fatty acids, 10 to 30 wt% of caprylic acid and/or capric acid, and 15 to 40 wt% of palmitic acid. A ratio of (amount of palmitic acid residue bound to 2-position)/(total amount of palmitic acid residue) (weight ratio) is 0.4 to 0.95. In the whole fat composition, a content of a triglyceride in which all of the fatty acid(s) bound is caprylic acid and/or capric acid is 10 wt% or less.SELECTED DRAWING: NoneCOPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】消化管の不調(下痢等)等の副作用がないにも関わらず、n-3系多価不飽和脂肪酸の体内への吸収性に優れ、常温でも油脂結晶が析出せずに加工し易く、風味の良い油脂組成物及びその製造方法を提供する。【解決手段】油脂組成物中の構成脂肪酸残基中、n-3系多価不飽和脂肪酸を20~60重量%、カプリル酸及び/又はカプリン酸を10~30重量%、パルミチン酸を15~40重量%含有し、2位に結合するパルミチン酸残基量/パルミチン酸残基総量(重量比)が0.4~0.95であり、油脂組成物全体中、結合する全ての脂肪酸がカプリル酸及び/又はカプリン酸であるトリグリセリドの含有量が10重量%以下である油脂組成物。【選択図】なし
