Consumers are increasingly in search of products that have a positive effect on their health, without making concessions with regard to taste and enjoyment. To fulfil these needs, ice cream manufacturers are shifting their product portfolios from pure indulgence to healthier alternatives. The innovative Cremex® products fit well in this trend and allow ice cream manufacturers to make healthy creamy tasting products  with a saturated fat level of about half compared to coconut oil. Also, the use of Cremex® products will now make it possible to make creamy ice creams with 0% trans fats.

Dr. Alexander van der Klauw, General Manager of Unimills B.V.: “The new Cremex® products are the first result of the new collaboration between our mother company Golden Hope Plantations Berhad (GHPB) from Malaysia and the Dutch Food Valley organizations led by NIZO food research. It shows the success of the new Unimills strategy focussed on innovation and responsibility and strengthens the position of Unimills as the preferred supplier of tailor-made vegetable oil based ingredients”.

Dr. Gerhard de Ruiter, R&D Manager of Unimills B.V. “The fundamental knowledge generated in this collaborative scientific research programme allowed Unimills scientists to develop the new Cremex® ice cream oil formulations with high levels of unsaturated fatty acids and excellent taste. Unimills filed several patents to protect this new technology and will continue to further develop new ice cream fat products.”
