Swiss margarine and bakery fats producer Grüninger AG has developed a new technology to produce palm-free, vegan and vegetarian margarines in which any off-note flavours are effectively taste masked.
At the heart of the process is a natural rosemary extract-derived antioxidant that can be custom-flavoured to match specific applications. In addition to stabilising the flavour of margarines, as well as vegetable and animal oils and fats, the neutralised fats overcome the common hurdles that arise when replacing solid palm fat with alternative oils; extend the product’s shelf life; increase heat stability during baking; and impart an optimised mouthfeel.
