Bakers now have a complete line of high-stability soy shortenings to maximize the taste, texture, and functionality of icings, cakes, pies, cookies, donuts, and tortillas.

Stratas Foods has introduced Superb Select 1020 Shortening, a shortening made with non-PHO soybean oil with a substantial reduction in saturated fats and no hydrogenated fats on the label, at the annual Institute of Food Technologists Meeting and Expo.

During research and development, bakers and snack producers face formulation hurdles on a daily basis. Luckily, functional ingredients like fats, oils, dough conditioners and egg replacers can help them solve a host of common challenges.

Oils and fats manufacturers continue to develop ingredients that help bakers and snack producers create healthier versions of the products consumers love.
