September 3, 2018. Borges Agricultural & Industrial Edible Oils as a result of its commitment to the health of its consumers and the result of intense work by its R+D teams has created Healthy & Green Solid Oil 4.0.
This new product line offers a healthy alternative to the use of highly saturated tropical fats, dairy fats, hydrogenated, partially hydrogenated fats and animal fats.
The innovative product line Healthy & Green Solid Oil 4.0 is aimed at the food industry, especially bakery and confectionery, puff pastry, biscuits, creams, chocolates and processed meat industries. Borges reaffirms its commitment with the innovation and development of products that optimally meet the needs of the food industry committed to the health of its consumers.
Healthy fats
Currently in the production of some sweets, creams, industrial pastries, and processed meat, hydrogenated and / or saturated fats are used; considered unhealthy. These types of ingredients are frequently present in ultra-processed products too. Numerous studies show that an assiduous consumption of these fats contributes to increasing the LDL cholesterol levels, also known as “bad” cholesterol, and increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, as well as insulin resistance.
To present a healthy alternative to the consumption and use of these fats in the food industry, Borges has created Healthy & Green Solid Oil 4.0 product line, with a healthy nutritional profile thanks to its unsaturated vegetable oils base and whose characteristics perfectly match the texture and palatability needs required by the food industry.
Origin, sustainability and environment
With Healthy & Green Solid Oil 4.0 product range, Borges reinforces its commitment with the environment by using only ingredients from traditional crops in Europe, grown mostly in an area of around 300 km from its production facilities. Hence, reducing CO2 emissions and contributing to the fight against climate change.
In addition, unlike palm cultivation, whose obtaining entails the destruction of large tropical forests and endangers the survival of animal and plant species, this new product line is also sustainable in terms of cultivation and contributes to the maintenance of biodiversity.
