ITCM is a global manufacturer and leading innovator in customised machinery and systems for pharmaceutical packaging and processing.

 

Vandemoortele is continuously looking to improve its margarines by using healthier fats (lower in trans-fatty acids, less saturated fats) or by reducing the total fat content. The growing demand for more natural ingredients is also requiring alternative solutions for additives used in margarine production.

Typically, partially or fully hydrogenated fats are reduced in the fat blend of the margarine to lower the presence of trans-fatty acids in the final food product. These reformulations can significantly change the crystallisation and melting behaviour of the fat blend, which impacts the quality and functionality of the margarine. However, by changing the industrial processing of the margarine, functional properties like hardness, plasticity and whipping capacity of the margarine can be optimized.

Vandemoortele has a proven track record in reformulating margarines and fats in this way.
