Fractionation - Current Status and Future Prospects in a Low-Trans World Download Page

Oils & Fats Group meeting, Ghent, 22-23 November 2005

During the decade since SCI’s 1994 conference, Fractional Crystallisation of Fats, many new fractionation plants have been installed in Malaysia, Indonesia and Europe. These have been built due to the increase in palm and palm kernel oil production, new fractionation technology, and the decline in hydrogenation due to nutritional concerns about trans fatty acids.

The follow-up, Fractionation - Current Status and Future Prospects in a Low-Trans World, held in conjunction with the University of Ghent in November 2005, gave speakers the opportunity to cover the latest trends in confectionery fats, bakery fats, spreads and frying oils applications. Subjects included:

  • The theory and practice of fractionation
  • Current and future developments in technology
  • The application of fractionation to the processing of palm, palm kernel, milk fat, and other oils
  • The application of fractionation to the production of fat products, especially for low-trans products.
