Food scientists at Cornell University recently created a buttery-like spread containing tiny drops of vegetable oil and milk fat in 80% water. They claim that this butter alternative is sustainable and contains all natural ingredients sans any synthetic stabilizers.
In terms of its nutritional value, the spread is low-fat and low-calorie containing only 2.8 grams of fat and 25.2 calories as opposed to an average of 11 grams of fat and 100 calories found in dairy butter.
The experiment was done through a process called high-internal phase emulsions, or HIPEs. Basically, oil is added to water until it reaches a composition of 20% oil and 80% water. Alireza Abbaspourrad, food science professor and senior author of the study (found in the journal ACS Appiled Materials and Interfaces), claims that the final product holds the consistency and creaminess of butter.
Is it BUBBLE Approved?
As the benefits of good fats come to surface in lifestyles like Keto, we see consumers turning away from “low-calorie” and “low-fat” products that are highly processed and artificial. Nonetheless, this new formula may be BUBBLE Approved due to its short ingredient list and ability to wean away from artificial preservatives. It definitely sounds like it could be a strong contender for a plant-based butter alternative.
