The present invention relates to oral compositions having enhanced organoleptic characteristics of fattiness, creaminess, soothing, satisfaction, and full mouthfeel, and comprises acylglycerol compounds having substituents R1, R2, and R3 attached at the positions of the OH- groups of a glycerol backbone. The substituents R1 and R2 are independently selected from conjugated polyunsaturated fatty acids having from 16 carbon atoms to 22 carbon atoms and R3 is selected from the group consisting of R1, OH, PO3HR4, and C6-C12 carboxylic acids, wherein is selected from the group consisting of OH, choline, inositol, serine, and ethanolamine. The oral compositions of the present invention being substantially free of free conjugated polyunsaturated fatty acids. |
