Reducing trans-fats while enhancing performance
Thursday 15 February 2007
Trans-fatty acids, which are present in partly hydrogenated
fats as well as in animal fats (including
milk fat and
dairy products), can increase the levels of blood lipids, and have also been found to affect the ratio of HDL and LDL cholesterol – a major risk factor for coronary heart disease. Nutrisoft 55 is a distilled monoglyceride based on partly unsaturated
vegetable fat, and contains less than one percent trans-fats. As such, it supports the development of prepared foods with very low trans-fatty acid contents, which are more attractive to health-conscious consumers and more acceptable to nutrition experts.
