Low cholesterol cheese |
Queens award |
Cheese is notorious as one of the foods known to increase blood cholesterol levels due to the presence of high animal fats. Anybody with high cholesterol levels will be advised by their doctor to avoid eating cheese. Angel Technology have developed a way of making a cheese, using completely new technology, where all animal fats are removed, being replaced by vegetable oils that have none of the cholesterol raising characteristics. Moreover these oils contain plant sterols, which have been proven to reduce cholesterol. Extensive clinical trials, undertaken in a U.K. research Institute, have demonstrated that the newly developed product reduces overall cholesterol levels by an average of 5.7%, bad (LDL) cholesterol levels falling by 17%. The new product is marketed as Minicol and is sold in all major supermarkets. It is now also being sold in the United States and many European countries. Much emphasis is being placed on export. In recognition of its potential and success, Tesco have awarded the product their coveted Innovation award. It has also been awarded the best new U.K. food product by an International group (The Sial award) in 2005 and featured on BBC Breakfast Television, being endorsed by the BBC doctor. Angel Technology is now actively expanding its patented technology, assessing how it can be used in other food products. |
