The additive includes at least a component including fatty acid glycerides, preferably triglycerides, comprising a high percentage of unsaturated, preferably polyunsaturated, fatty acids.

For example, fat compositions may comprise less than about 2% wt. total trans fatty acids and a total of less than about 70% wt. saturated fatty acids and trans fatty acids.

The invention relates to a method for producing fatty acid esters of lower alcohols from fatty acids contained in fatty acid triglycerides or fatty acid esters of lower alcohols.

The oleic acid content of the fatty acid mixtures is at least 80 wt %.

For example, the shortening particle composition may comprise less than about 3% wt. total trans fatty acids and a total of about less than about 61% wt. saturated fatty acids and trans fatty acids.

The fatty acid compound may include at least about 90% saturated fatty acids.

Fatty acids/Fatty acid potassium salt

The spread includes low levels of saturated fatty acids and trans fatty acids.

Fatty acids/Potassium salt of natural oil acids

The present invention is directed to a method or preparing fatty acid alkyl esters from fatty acids contained in co-product streams, or waste or recycled fatty acid stock.

Fatty acid mixtures with mainly 18 carbon atoms represent the fatty acid component in the epoxidized fatty acid esters.

Mono- and di-glycerides of fatty acids

The proportion of bi-unsaturated or poly-unsaturated fatty acids is in total at least approximately 40 % by weight and the proportion of mono-unsaturated fatty acids is on average less than 35 % by weight.

Typically, the fatty acids and/or fatty acid esters are C8 to C16 fatty acids and/or fatty acid esters.

The fatty acid-based films may be formed from fatty acid-derived biomaterials.
