The science behind SWEOAT® oil
SWEOAT® oat oil contains up to 40% polar lipids and are the result of a patented process to fractionate crude oat oil into varying contents of polar lipids.
In general, the higher the content of polar lipids, the higher the emulsifying effect. So, because SWEOAT® oat oil has a high polar lipid content, less oil is needed for emulsifying in application. The result? Great texture and mouthfeel along with recognisable oat labelling.
With a hydrophilic lipophilic balance ranging from 6 to 14, our SWEOAT® oils can be used for both oil in water and water in oil emulsions.
Two high quality oat oils are available for food:
- SWEOAT® PL15 contains up to 15% polar lipids, allowed as a food ingredient in Europe
- SWEOAT® PL40 contains up to 40% polar lipids, allowed as an additive in Europe for chocolate applications
