Fat and Oil Testing

Saturated fats and unsaturated fats are two main types of fat. Saturated fats mainly from animal source of foods such as red meat and dairy products. Unsaturated fats are healthy fats that predominantly found in plant foods such as vegetable oils, nuts and seeds. Human need some fat in diet to keep the heart healthy. Oil is not just used for cooking, frying and baking but also used as bread dipping and salad dressing. Hence, food producers must ensure the quality and purity of edible oil and fats is safe to consumers.
