Blends of glycerides and/or fatty acids comprising 20 to 65 wt % C16:1 fatty acid, balance other fatty acids with 12 to 24 C-atoms and having a C16:1 to C16:0 fatty acid ratio of more than 2.0 and an C16:1 to C18:1 fatty acid ratio of more than 1.2 perform well in food applications. These blends of glycerides can be made by a process involving a partial enzymic hydrolysis of materials derived from fish oil using an enzyme with specificity for C16:1, removal of the fatty acids and a fractionation of the acids.
