Plant-based lipid emulsification systems: CargillRecent Research Landscape

High viscosity in solid vegetable fats prevents efficient bulk transport and precise dosing in food production. Engineering the rheological properties of cocoa butter systems allows for continuous pump-based processing without thermal degradation.

What technical problems is Cargill addressing in Plant-based lipid emulsification systems?

Lipid phase separation instability

(12)evidences

Inconsistent fat distribution and physical instability during storage or transport of plant-based lipids. Preventing phase separation ensures nutritional uniformity in infant products and structural integrity in spreads.

Thermal structural instability

(7)evidences

Plant-based lipid systems often fail to maintain foam structure and volume in the absence of egg proteins. Resolving this collapse ensures consistent texture and shelf-stability in bakery applications.
