Lipids to replace transAs food manufacturers prepare for the upcoming 2006 FDA requirement to label trans-fatty acid content on food labels, help comes in the form of the NovaLipid line of fats and oils. Each one is specifically formulated to contain little or no trans fat. NovaLipid products have an extremely low taste profile, making them a suitable addition or alternative to a vast number of food applications such as shortenings, margarines, confections and many other prepared foods.ADM; Decatur, Ill.800-637-5843 ext. 4107; www.admworld.comStructured lipidIn response to food industry needs to replace trans fats, Neobee MLT-B is a structured lipid based on medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). It’s a suitable replacement for partially hydrogenated vegetable soil (PHVO). Designed to mimic the solid fat index of PHVO in baking applications, the product incorporates the dietary and health benefits of MCTs, which are metabolized in one-eighth of the time and deliver fewer calories than typical long-chain fats. MCTs follow a unique metabolic pathway, traveling directly to the liver rather than through the lymphatic system, and therefore are not accumulated as fat in body tissues.Stepan Food and Health Specialties; Maywood, N.J.201-712-7642; www.stepan.com
