Food and Feed

Quolio^TM with high solubility and no impact on odor or organoleptic properties makes the product a perfect choice to play with different food formulation for a variety of purposes.

High oxidative stability

Unsaturated fats and oils have a natural tendency to oxidize or resinify at high temperatures. Quolio^TM presents a high stability against oxidation. After 30 min at 230ºC some aldehydes are clearly noticeable in the case of sunflower seed oil, but not in the case of Quolio^TM.

Neutral in taste and smell

Quolio^TM is processed under a high standard of food safety and perfectly refined. Quolio^TM is not promoting any off-flavor or off-odor even under demanding conditions.

Hydrophobic ability

Quolio^TM exhibits very low water solubility thus it can make the surface of the mold, pan, machine or equipment water-repelling. Quolio^TM also protects surfaces against corrosion  due to the hydrophobic effect as well as the isolation from the external air.

Film former properties

Quolio^TM presents a perfect balance in surface tension, spreadability and viscosity; consequently, it forms an interrupted film between the surfaces and the doughs. Additionally, MCT can form a good adhering film on steep walls, creating a moisture barrier and preventing water loss.

High fatty substance solubilizer

Quolio^TM is perfectly refined and presents a very few number of particles, being rated as below 0.05 NTU, preventing clogging of the nozzles during application. Quolio^TM presents good solubilizing properties being slightly more polar than standard vegetable oils, so it can act as a solvent for oil dispersible substances.
