Healthy Oils

Increased consumer awareness of the effects of consuming various types of fats and oils has fueled unparalleled investment in development of healthful food oils. But it has also led to a wave of investment in marketing oils to food manufacturers and consumers. What really are the best applications for soy, palm, canola and other food oils? Are newly developed oils, such as low linolenic soybean and high oleic canola oils, viable options for producers of healthful foods in terms of nutritional properties, functionality and supply availability? Will oils fortified with omega 3 fatty acids or other elements become readily available? To what extent will consumers demand 'natural' or 'sustainable' food oils — and what do those concepts really mean? For the first time, Soyatech LLC, a leading information provider to the oilseed processing, edible oil production and seed trait development industries, has teamed up with New Hope Natural Media to organize the latest, best research on healthful oils into the program below.
