RESEARCHERS at a Scottish university have developed a healthy and environmentally friendly alternative to palm oil.
“It is therefore essential to develop an alternative product, which works well for the food industry and helps reduce the world’s overreliance on palm”.There is currently no widely sold alternative to palm oil which is sustainable, healthy and cost effective.
However, researchers at QMU claim that their product has the potential to fulfil all three requirements. The alternative includes a by-product from the linseed industry, fibre and rapeseed oil and can be produced locally across the globe.Dr Julien Lonchamp, a reader in food science who helped develop the product alongside Liddle, said:"We set out to develop a new ingredient that would not only be better for the environment but also healthier than palm fat and current alternatives.
“Following a preliminary study to show the potential of a novel ingredient composed of a linseed industry by-product, fibre and rapeseed oil, the QMU team secured funding from Innovate UK to demonstrate the feasibility of PALM-ALT, develop its production to factory level, and collaborate with a range of food companies to develop palm-free versions of their commercial products.”
Longchamp said they are already in discussion with a number of stakeholders about rolling out the product at an industry-level and are keen to connect with food companies looking to replace the use of palm oil in their products.
