A lipid composition useful for formulating food products, comprising a mixture of synthetic triglycerides of the formula: ** Formula ** in which the central group R2 and the terminal groups R1 and R3 independently comprise fatty acid residues having 2 at 24 carbon atoms; in which at least about 14% by weight of the triglycerides in the mixture are structured triglycerides; in which the central group R2 is a short-chain fatty acid residue, having 2 to 4 atoms of carbon, both included, or a medium-chain fatty acid residue, having 6 to 12 carbon atoms, both included; in which one of the R1 or R3 terminal groups is a long-chain unsaturated fatty acid residue, which has14 at 24 carbon atoms, both included, and with at least one double bond in its structure, and in which the other of the R1 or R3 terminal groups is a short-chain fatty acid residue, having 2 to 4 carb atoms no, both included, a medium chain fatty acid residue, which has 6 to 12 carbon atoms, both included, or a long chain unsaturated fatty acid residue, which has 14 to 24 carbon atoms, both included, and at least a double CC link in its structure; and in which the triglyceride mixture has a molar ratio of short chain (S) fatty acid residues, medium chain (M) fatty acid residues, long chain saturated fatty acid residues with 14 to 24 carbon atoms, both included, and without double CC bond in its structure (L), and long-chain unsaturated fatty acid residues (U), as defined by the equation: Molar Ratio>; = (S + M) / (L + U) of 1 , 5 to 2.4.Una composición lipídica de utilidad para formular productos de alimentación, que comprende una mezcla detriglicéridos sintéticos de la fórmula: **Fórmula**en la que el grupo central R2 y los grupos terminales R1 y R3 comprenden, independientemente, residuos de ácidosgrasos que tienen 2 a 24 átomos de carbono;en la que al menos aproximadamente 14% en peso de los triglicéridos en la mezcla son triglicéridos estructurados;en la que el grupo central R2 es un residuo de ácido
