PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an oil-and-fat composition having unique flavor like that of butter and expressing favorable saltiness: and to provide a method for producing the oil-and-fat composition.SOLUTION: The oil-and-fat composition includes a sulfur-containing compound at 0.001-10 ppm so as to have favorable butter flavor. The method for producing an oil-and-fat composition comprises: a mixing process where a water phase containing milk powder and salt is added to an oil phase comprising raw material oil and fat little by little a heating process where the mixture obtained through the mixing process is heated and a rapidly cooling process where the mixture after the heating process is rapidly cooled to be plasticized. The method for producing an oil-and-fat composition also comprises an addition process where the sulfur-containing compound is added to the mixture after passing through the mixing process so as to be at 0.001-10 ppm.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】バター様の独特の風味を持ち、かつ、好ましい塩味発現を有する油脂組成物および油脂組成物の製造方法を提供すること。【解決手段】含硫化合物を0.001~10ppm含有させることによって、良好なバター風味をもつ油脂組成物を得ることができる。また、原料油脂からなる油相に、粉乳および食塩を含有する水相を徐々に添加する混合工程と、混合工程によって得られた混合物を加熱する加熱工程と、加熱工程後の混合物を急冷可塑化する急冷工程を有する油脂組成物の製造方法において、混合工程を経た以後の混合物に含硫化合物を0.001ppm~10ppmとなるように添加する添加工程を有することを特徴とする油脂組成物の製造方法。【選択図】なし
