the presence of fat in the meals is what makes them, in fact, more tasty. Intense flavor of the chips bag, industrial pastries, burgers and all these foods banned ” in a healthy diet is given by the large amount of fat they possess.
Because fats contribute not only palatable, but also all the creaminess and good appearance of many foods. what I say of the ice cream of the photo? It is because of ” fats that carry its ingredients, which makes the mouth water watching them …
to try to provide healthier but equally delicious food food companies investigate constantly in search of how to replace entirely or in part, the dangerous fat trans by much lighter nutrients and healthy.
fat performs key functions in our body; provides energy, us supplies of essential fatty acids, carries the fat-soluble vitamins, facilitates their assimilation and participates in the regulation of the fat corproral.So how important is not to eliminate the fat in the diet (something that would be terribly) but avoid, as always, the excesses in the consumption
To reduce the amount of trans fats in foods such as fast food, snacks and pastries, is promoting research in search of compounds which provide the same sensory characteristics in foodstuffs (taste, texture and appearance), but do not cause the same damage in health. One of the ways of doing this is to add water and air to food, thus replacing part of the fat.Miméticos compounds are another option. It is natural components of the same food (proteins or carbohydrates), change in laboratory so that they mimic the properties of fats and replace them part of its functions. Although they can not FRY, did give good results in preparations oven or paseturizados.
Derivatives of the carbohydrates such as starch or gum Arabic, give body and consistency to food; derivatives of proteins, for its part (whey milk, gluten, gelatine …) serve to mimic the sensation on the palate of fats and textures. They’re perfect for ice creams or sauces such as mayonnaise.
