(FGV) has set its sights on expanding its downstream segment through value-added offerings to the Asia-Pacific region with more new plant-based industrial products.
It said on Wednesday its subsidiary, Delima Oil Products Sdn Bhd’s (DOPSB) is introducing three products under the Premeo brand -- animal fat replacer, dairy fat replacer and frying oil.
FGV said these products are specially formulated as healthier plant-based alternative fats for food and dessert manufacturers, as well as for industrial use such as heavy-duty deep frying for quick service restaurants.
The introduction of the new Premeo product range is in line with FGV’s endeavour to meet the growing demand for genuine high-quality plant-based fats and oils, in countries such as South Korea and Japan, especially in the frozen food and desserts sectors.
