Epogee’s Alternative Fat Technology Enables Lower-Calorie BFY Snacks

February 16, 2021: 12:00 AM EST
The Indianapolis-based maker of fat replacement compounds says its alternative fat technology, EPG (esterified propoxylated glycerol) is helping manufacturers produce better-for-you snacks with “dramatically fewer calories.” According to the company, EPG can replace up to 85 percent of the digestible fat in a formulation, allowing formulators to reduce labeled calories, total fat grams, and saturated fat grams by 92 percent for each unit of fat replaced. One snack maker that has applied the new technology is OWN Your Hunger (New York, N.Y.), a keto, vegan, low carb start-up that says it has launched the world’s first line of peanut butter and hazelnut spreads with nearly half the calories.
