Shortening

USHA™ Vegetable shortening is a soft plastic-type fat used for baking needs, such as baking cakes, bread, fillings & biscuits. USHA™ Vegetable Shortening is made from fully refined and deodorized palm oil. It is a palm-based shortening that is non-hydrogenated, trans-fat-free and cholesterol-free. It is also high oxidative stability fat. It offers a smooth consistency that facilitates mixing and may also be used for frying. Depending on customer's requirements, other ingredients, including antioxidants and emulsifiers are generally added into our shortening. USHA™ Vegetable shortening is obtained from sustainable palm oil with good plantation practice standards, recognized internationally by reputable organizations. All our products strive to create value for our customers by satisfying their requirements with standard performance characteristics. • Trans Fat-Free • No Hydrogenation • Cholesterol Free • GMO-Free USHA™ Shortening : Shortenings are characterized by having a fairly high melting point and fat content, except pourable shortenings. Palm Oil and its products have a very similar consistency to shortenings and together with their wide range, are ideally suited to formulate these products. Palm Oil in combination with Palm Stearin can be used to produce shortenings of excellent quality and diverse applications, such as for making bread, cakes, pastries, creams, and sweets. To meet a high melting point and solid fat content of shortening, another liquid oil has to be hydrogenated while palm oil itself fits into the profile in its natural form and requires no further modification and chemical processing.
