Scottish scientists create 'game-changing' palm oil alternative

  • Researchers at Queen Margaret University have developed a 100% plant-based alternative to palm oil, which is not only better for the environment but also healthier, with 80% less saturated fat and 30% fewer calories.
  • The new PALM-ALT product, made from a by-product of the linseed industry, natural fiber, and rapeseed oil, has been described as having a mayonnaise-style consistency and can be used in a variety of food and cosmetic products.
  • With palm oil production causing significant deforestation and environmental damage, the development of this sustainable alternative could have a major impact on reducing carbon emissions and preserving biodiversity.
