Heart health bakery fats from new enzymatic technology

IOI-LodersCroklaan, a leading global producer and supplier of vegetable oils and fats, has opened a new plant in Rotterdam for the production of enzymaticallyinteresterified fats and oils for the food industry. These new fats utilize innovative manufacturing techniques to produce bakery fats. To coincide with the opening of the Rotterdam Palm Oil Plant Complex, IOI-LodersCroklaan also announced the launch of its new enzymaticallyinteresterified product line; CrokvitolTM. Crokvitol was originally the name of a margarine produced by LodersCroklaan in the 1960s that was designed to promote good heart health. It was one of the very first margarines that aimed to improve nutritional benefits. The new plant, which was officially opened by Dato’ Lee YeowChor, Executive Director of the IOI Group, and Maria van derHoeven, Dutch Minister of Economic Affairs, features the latest technologies to recover heat, minimize CO2 emissions, and reduce energy wastage.
