7. NOT COVERED IN FDA DETERMINATION
• Fully hydrogenated oils
• Partially hydrogenated oils used
in animal feed
• Ingredients containing naturally
derived trans fats (e.g. ruminant
sources)
• PHOs used as raw materials to
synthesize other ingredients
8. PETITION TO ALLOW LIMITED USES OF
PHOS AS FOOD ADDITIVES
Excerpt from GMA News Release (Status: Under Review by FDA)
GMA Food Additive Petition
STATUS: Under Review by FDA
GMA Food Additive Petition
“Our petition shows that the proposed PHO uses are as safe as the naturally
occurring trans fat present in the normal diet…”
“Food and beverage companies have already voluntarily lowered the amount of
trans fat added to food products by more than 86 percent and will continue…”
9. CHALLENGES TO FAT/OIL/FOOD INDUSTRY REGARDING
TRANS FAT ALTERNATIVES
• Functionality
• Availability
• Economics
• Logistics
• Technology
2003 2006
10. FUNCTIONALITY
• Replacements must provide functional characteristics of materials being
replaced (e.g. flakiness, firmness, crispness, melting properties,
appearance, etc.)
• Saturated fat content should not increase to greater than the sum of trans
& saturates before reformulation
• Product stability must be maintained
2003 2006
11. • Major consumer markets (restaurant chains and large food manufacturers)
require significant source availability
• New trait enhanced oils require significant commitment by farmers to
grow trait enhanced varieties and food industry to use the oils therefrom
• Adequate availability of trait-enhanced oils take time to develop (e.g. new
oilseed varieties [at this time] like high oleic canola and low linolenic
soybeans and later high oleic soybean)
AVAILABILITY
2003 2006
12. ECONOMICS
2003 2006
• TFA replacement must be price competitive
• Some newer technologies are more costly
• (Interesterification, modified partial hydrogenation, etc.)
• Newly developed trait-enhanced oils carry a premium
13. • No single solution – multiple ingredient alternatives, multiple inventories,
multiple suppliers
• Regional supply bases, not national (no geographically diverse suppliers)
• Deliveries of no trans fat ingredient alternatives not always available for
just-in-time orders
2003 2006
LOGISTICS
14. FOOD MANUFACTURER LABELING CONSIDERATIONS
Nutrition Facts panel:
• Trans fat declaration:
State existing level (no reformulation)
Reduce trans fat by reformulation (no label advantage)
Reduce trans fat to “0” (i.e. <0.5g per serving)
Saturated fat declaration (<10% of calories)
• Ingredient label:
Presence of “hydrogenated” or “partially hydrogenated”
Use of oils/fats that are functional but also higher in saturated fat content (e.g. palm, lard,
tallow, etc.)
• Front panel label:
Zero trans fat per serving
2003 2006
15. EFFECTS OF FDA’S TRANS FAT LABELING FINAL RULE
• Consumer information expanded
• Reformulation of foods accelerated
• Trans fat alternatives stimulated
• Some increase in food ingredient costs
2003 2006
16. REFORMULATION DID NOT END WHEN
TRANS FAT LABELING BEGAN
FOOD REFORMULATION CONTINUES
FDA initiates GRAS
determination for
partially hydrogenated
oils (PHOs)
Trans fat intake
already down 78%

25. CONSUMER CONFUSION OVER “HYDROGENATED” OILS
Men’s Health
“Some public health experts
now blame the trans fats in
hydrogenated oils for tens of
thousands of premature
deaths…At the supermarket,
limiting dangerous fats is
easy: check labels to find
products without partially or
fully hydrogenated oils or
trans fats.”
Ladies’ Home Journal
“Crack the Code: Look for
‘hydrogenated oil’ or
‘partially hydrogenated oil’
on the label. These are
code for trans fat.”
Woman’s Day
“Trans fats are made when
hydrogen is added to
vegetable oil during the
manufacturing process, so
it’s best to avoid any oils or
shortening that have fully
or partially hydrogenated
oil in the ingredients.”
26. WITH U.S. PHARMACOPEIA ISEO DEFINES
FULLY HYDROGENATED OILS
FULLY HYDROGENATED OILS AND FATS
First published: FCC 10
Completely Hydrogenated Oils and Fats
Hydrogenated Oils and Fats
DESCRIPTION
Fully hydrogenated oils and fats occur as solids at room
temperature. They are produced through the
hydrogenation of individual food grade oils and fats, or
through the hydrogenation of mixtures of food grade oils
and fats to achieve an iodine value of NMT 4,
representing the saturation of double bonds from the
source oils and/or fats. Oils and fats used to manufacture
fully hydrogenated oils and fats are expressed or
extracted from a range of seeds, nuts, fruits, and animal
fatty tissues, including canola (low erucic acid rapeseed),
coconut, corn, cottonseed, lard, palm, palm kernel,
peanut, safflower, soybean, sunflower, and tallow.
30. Why Oils and Fats
Concentrated sources of energy (9 cal/g)
Source of essential fatty acids (C18:2/C18:3)
Carrier for fat soluble vitamins
Serve as a heat transfer medium
Contribute to texture and flavor (lubricity,
cohesiveness, aeration, oiliness)
32. The Need for Trait Enhanced Oils
Trans Fat Regulation:
– The 2006 FDA labeling of trans mandate, thus alternative for PHOs
– Geographic / Municipal regulations indicating that for foodservice all products
must meet “0 grams trans per serving”
Increase Oxidative Stability:
– As partial hydrogenation is phased out stable oils are needed
– Industrial demand for a stable oil
– Foodservice / QSR demand for stable oils
Improve Profile:
– Reduction on erucic acid (HEAR to LEAR)
– Increase in Oleic and decrease in PUFAs to increase oxidative stability
– Reduction in saturates (push from NGOs and Health Authorities)
– Increase in Stearic Acid (neutrality of the saturated fatty acid)
– Increase the long chain PUFA content

The Trans / PHO Timeline
35. The Need to Increase Oxidative Stability
• Commodity oils such as soy and canola contain C18:3 & C18:2 which can lead to
instability. These oils are partially hydrogenated to decrease the level of C18:2
and C18:3 acid – can create trans in the range from 10% to 60%
• Corn oil and cottonseed oil contain appreciable levels of C18:2, but do not
contain appreciable levels of C18:3, which has some bearing on oxidative
stability
• NuSun™ development is a good example of the industry coming together to
identify and develop a product to meet specific demands
37. High Oleic Soy - Opportunities
• Work began in the early 1970s to improve soybean oil traits
• Food processing & QSR sector disappointed by low C18:3 soy
• HOSoy will offer greater oxidative stability
• HOSoy will offer lower saturate profiles
• HOSoy will provide a suitable base oil for blending or interesterification to
produce low trans shortenings
• Both food and industrial users are interested in this profile.

55. Benefits of High Oleic Oils
No need of partial hydrogenation (trans fatty acid reduction)
Improved oxidative stability to maintain or extend shelf life
Works well in blends with palm oil or palm fractions to produce
functional, stable shortenings for a variety of applications
Interesterification with fully hydrogenated vegetable oil or
palm fractions to produce functional, stable shortenings for a
variety of applications
Natural and synthetic antioxidant addition can boost oxidative
stability
56. Profile of High Stability Oils

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT MANAGER, STRATAS FOODS LLC
57. Objective:
• Compare high oleic soybean oil (HOSoy) as a component of doughnut frying oil with
other commercially available options on the basis of functionality
Tests Procedure:
• Three-batch controlled doughnut study
Test Variables:
• Partially hydrogenated (PH) soybean oil
(~31% trans fat)
• Palm/soy blend
• EIE commodity soy
• EIE high oleic soybean oil
Functionality Testing: Doughnut Frying
58. Each variable, tested in triplicate:
• Commercial foodservice fryers
• Fryer set at 375°F for each test
• 10 pounds of doughnut mix per batch
(~110 doughnuts)
• Three batches per oil subject
Key metrics analyzed every trial for:
• Oil quality
– Anisidine, color, %FFA, total polars
• Doughnut quality and characteristics
– Texture, oil weeping, absorption, size, etc.
• Sensory
Fry Study Procedures
59. • Interesterification (IE): rearrangement of fatty acids on the glycerol
backbone
– IE has the ability to modify the melting point and functional crystallization
characteristics without changing the fatty acid composition
• Enzymatic Interesterification (EIE): positional selective IE which cleaves and
reattaches fatty acids using an enzyme catalyst
What Is Interesterification?
65. Doughnut - Texture
• Two doughnuts were selected at random, one cut vertically and one horizontally,
to describe interior grain uniformity, texture and internal star shape
• IE HOSO blends produced similar texture, interior grain, and doughnut hole star
shape and size to that of the industry standard PH soybean product
• These results were compared to texture analyzer data using a TA-XT2i Texture
Analyzer Instrument after 30 minutes and 24 hours to determine overall texture

• Doughnuts are at their peak flavor
and softness when first made and
become harder, more crumbly, and
less desirable over time
• Results indicate that after 24 hours
the IE HOSoy blends preserved
texture better than all other
products testing, including PH

% Fat Absorption
• Fat absorption in cake doughnuts is
typically around 25 percent
• Analyzed to compare standard PH
soybean oil to various alternatives
• Contributes to structure, mouthfeel,
flavor, and many other
characteristics of the doughnut
• Proper fatty acid profile with a
balanced absorption of oil leads to
doughnut characteristics

71. Summary – Oil Performance
• IE HOSoy provided similar TPM as PH soybean oil, and significantly
outperformed IE commodity soybean oil and the palm blend
• Overall PH soybean oil showed a lower degradation rate by p-anisidine
value than all oil subjects tested
• IE HOSoy and the palm blend outperformed IE commodity soybean oil
due to levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids
72. Summary – Doughnut Performance
• IE HOSoy and PH soybean oil
produced similar texture, spread and
height, and “star” shape of inner
doughnut circle
• PH soybean oil doughnuts produced
less oil weeping than all other
products; IE commodity soybean oil
doughnuts produced the most
• Fat absorption was impacted by type
of oil with IE HOSoy absorbing more
than all other oil types
73. Summary – Doughnut Performance
• Slight differences in sensory provided
– Palm: cardboard notes, slight fishy notes
– IE Soybean Oil and IE HOSoy: slight chemical taste
– PHO: nutty, sweet flavor
• Overall results suggest IE HOSoy doughnuts and oil performed most
similar to PH soybean results
• Continued modifications to fatty acid profiles by blending various oils
should continue closing the gap on PH soybean oil performance,
doughnut functionality, and sensory characteristics
