Materials and methods

On the 49th session of Joint FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations)/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives held in Rome, 17-26 June 1997, this compendium on Salatrim was prepared.

Test material

Constituent 1
Reference substance name:
short- and long-chain acyl triglyceride molecules (SALATRIM)
IUPAC Name:
short- and long-chain acyl triglyceride molecules (SALATRIM)
Details on test material:
Salatrim is the acronym for short- and long-chain acyl triglyceride molecules. Salatrim is prepared by interesterification of triacetin, tripropionin, or tributyrin, or their mixtures with either hydrogenated canola, soybean, cottonseed, or sunflower oil. Triglycerides with three short-chain fatty acids are removed in the process.

Salatrim triglyceride molecules typically contain 30-67 mol-% short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) and 33-70 mol-% long-chain fatty acids (LCFA); stearic acid is the predominant LCFA.
