When it comes to fat, trans-fat is considered to be the worst of all types. Tans-fat, also known as unsaturated fat or fatty acids is responsible for raising the so-called ‘bad’ cholesterol (LDL) and lowering the ‘good’ cholesterol (HDL) in your body. A high amount of LDL and low HDL cholesterol increases the risk of heart disease in both men and women. Despite its harmful effects, trans-fats are still used by various food manufacturing companies, particularly, of fried foods, such as doughnuts and French fries. The main reason behind this is that trans-fats keep the food items fresh for a longer time and gives it a longer shelf life. Besides, fried food, commercial baked food such as cookies, cakes, pastries and crackers may also contain a heavy amount of trans-fat.
However, if you want to stay away from trans-fat, opting for frozen food items is a great alternative. As the micro-organisms do not grow below -9.5°C, there is no requirement to add any kind of preservatives or fatty acids in the food item. The freezing itself is sufficient in preventing food decay. For long term preservation, a tasteless and odorless stabilizer named Carboxymethyl cellulose is added to the frozen food, which neither has any effect on the quality or taste of the food. It also doesn’t adulterate it.
Another option is to shift on to kettle cooked food items. Unlike the deep frying method, the kettle cooking adopts the method of slow cooking at a low temperature. The food items that require frying such as chips, tacos and tortillas are first fried at low temperature and later cooled down. This is basically done to break down the starch content. Then the extra oil is removed from them prior to the second frying at higher temperature.
