The present invention relates to fats and oils composition for reducing
lipids in blood, comprising a triglyceride in which specified fatty acids
are artificially combined at the first portion, the second portion and
third portion of the triglyceride molecule. The present composition is
preferably useful for foods. Such fats and oils composition for reducing
lipids in blood, comprising triglycerides containing a R.sub.M R.sub.L
R.sub.M triglyceride as an effective component, having Formula I. In
formula I, wherein R.sub.M is an acyl group of a saturated medium chain
fatty acid having 8 to 10 carbon atoms, R.sub.L is an acyl group of a
monounsaturated long chain fatty acid having 16 to 18 carbon atoms,
C.sup.1 is the first carbon of the triglyceride, C.sup.2 is the second
carbon of the triglyceride, and C.sup.3 is the third carbon of the
triglyceride.
