A technology company called Coasun Inc. has recently received U.S. Patent #7357957 for a process to make a low saturated fat, trans fat free material useful as a baking fat or shortening.
Coasun claims there shortening alternative can be made with any liquid vegetable oil, water, and a food grade emulsifier already common in many baked products. By structuring oil and water a firm paste results which apparently has superior functional properties as an all purpose shortening for baking.
