Vegetable oils still lead the field over animal-based fats when it comes to new food oil developments. Perceived as healthier in that they contain more unsaturated fatty acids, they have faced challenges when it comes to cooking or baking, as they are not normally robust at the high temperatures needed in heat processing.
The need for attractive oils that provide or enhance a desired set of functions, from textural to organoleptic to metabolic, is driving technologists to develop multiple new takes on oils and fats for preparation and use in food and beverage formulations.
