So, what is matière grasse végétale de palme hydrogénée?
"Matière grasse végétale de palme hydrogénée" is a commonly used food ingredient that is derived from the fruit of the oil palm tree. This vegetable fat is made by subjecting the crude palm oil to a process called hydrogenation, which changes its physical properties and makes it more stable. It is a solid at room temperature and has a high melting point, which makes it an ideal ingredient for creating texture and consistency in baked goods, confectionery, and processed foods. However, it is important to note that the production of hydrogenated palm oil has been associated with environmental concerns, and its consumption has been linked to negative health effects when consumed in excess.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
