Creamy vegetable spread

The product such a fairly new product for domestic consumers as a spread or spread received its original name thanks to the English verb of the same name, which translates as stretching or smearing. Spreads are a separate kind of food that is made on the basis of dairy, and in addition, vegetable fats.

It is noteworthy that the composition of spreads should contain at least 39% and no more than 95% of the mass fraction of fat. The main feature of spreads can be considered that this type of oil, even in a cooled form, is easily spread, unlike a well-known product. In many foreign countries, spreads have long supplanted butter.

However, not all specialists took the side of the new food product. often in the process of producing various varieties of the spread, food additives are used from the category of taste enhancers, preservatives, as well as flavors and stabilizers. As a result of recent studies, scientists were able to find evidence of harm to the vast majority of dietary supplements of synthetic origin.

These substances are part of many modern food products, including spreads. Currently, there are three main varieties of spread oil:



a vegetable-creamy spread or product containing from 15 to 49% milk fats;

plant-dired sperm or a product that practically like margarine does not contain dairy fats in its chemical composition;

creamy-vegetable spread or oil in the composition of which more than 50% of dairy fats are present.



Such a product as a creamy-vegetable spread can be an excellent alternative to ordinary butter, provided that the product was made in accordance with all technical regulations. In addition, the taste as well as the consumer characteristics of the finished cream-and-vegetable spread are influenced by the initial ingredients that were used in the product production process.

To determine the quality of the creamy-vegetable spread, you should pay attention to the following main characteristics of the product. The creamy-vegetable spread should have a distinctive creamy taste. As a rule, a creamy-vegetable spread is characterized by a sweetly creamy or sour creamy taste, and besides, an aroma.

To improve the taste and consumer characteristics of creamy-plant spreads, many food product manufacturers use food additives. It is better to choose a product that contains the smallest amount of all kinds of stabilizers, taste enhancers and emulsifiers. However, it will be quite difficult to find a really high-quality cream-plant spread on the shelves of domestic grocery stores.

This is primarily due to the fact that it is spreads that are included in the list of some of their most falsified modern food products. It is for this reason that you should be especially attentive to the choice of a creamy plant spread that you, as well as your relatives and friends, will eat.
