Zero Trans Situation
Why have solutions been so difficult to find?

• Shortenings with trans fat yield some unique
  characteristics
• Icings that are spreadable after several days
• Bright white icings
• No off flavors
• With the exception of palm oil and meat fats, no
  source oil is solid at room temperature

The goal has been to find the perfect replacement.

Zero Trans Situation
Palm oil and meat fats offer some potential .

• Pros

• Cons

• Solid at room temperature
• No trans
• Kosher

• More expensive than soy
• High saturates
• Flavor issues
• Darker color

• Palm Oil

• Not kosher
• High cholesterol
• Negative image

• No artificial trans
• Excellent performance

• Meat Fats

Both have benefits, but there are tradeoffs .

Zero Trans Formulations
Some recipe modifications are likely .
Why?

• Trans containing shortenings have unique
  properties
• Palms fatty acid profile is different
• Finished product characteristics such as texture,
  mouthfeel or graininess are influenced with
  subtle changes
• Colors might be a bit darker
• Even trans containing shortenings are not often
  an exact match

As with most bakery shortenings, zero trans
solutions may also require process adjustments .
