Proextra® Liquid Shortening
Proextra® Liquid Shortening combines the low saturated fat level of canola with the crystallizing ability of palm oil, enabling its use for both baking and deep-frying. It has a creamy white appearance similar to animal-based shortenings. Antioxidants and antifoam agents are added to improve frying life.
