Indiana-based Dow AgroSciences has announced that it has developed a canola oil that could replace partially-hydrogenated oils used in commercial applications.


Natreon canola oil is virtually trans-fat free and is the lowest in saturated fat of any vegetable oil, the company said.


“The fatty acid profile of this oil is consistent with the new US Dietary Guidelines Committee recommendations to significantly decrease saturated and trans fats in the diet, much of which come from food service items, snacks, baked goods and processed foods,” Dow AgroSciences said.


“We are working with major oilseed processors to supply large volumes of this unique, healthy and functional oil to the marketplace,” said David Dzisiak, global business leader, Oils/Oilseeds for Dow AgroSciences.


The company said it began research and development in the 1990s on a trans-free, low-saturated fat oil with superior functional qualities.
