MONDELĒZ INTERNATIONAL: HIGHLY AVAILABLE AND AFFORDABLE ALTERNATIVES TO PALM KERNEL OIL
Fecha de vencimiento:
31-12-2022
We are looking for alternatives to Palm Kernel Oil which are not considered premium fats and have a potentially fully scalable supply chain. Can be a single drop in replacement or a blend of ingredients to cover the full functionality of the Palm oils currently used. KEY SUCCESS CRITERIA Oils that can mimic sensory (texture, melting), physical (melting point, etc.) and chemical properties (fatty acids profile that impacts processing). (Latter is discretionary, others are mandatory) Cost advantaged compared to premium fats as coconut oil ( at least 20 % min) Not to be classed by consumers as "ultra-processed" foods. Must be seen as sustanabile (free for the associations Palm has with deforestation etc.)
