Under the premise of maintaining health and posture, low-fat diet is of great concern to people. But the smoothness of food is often discounted by the lack of fat. According to statistics, only 18 percent of consumers are satisfied with the low-calorie food on the market.
EPG (Esterified Propoxylated Glycerol) is a fat substitute that functions similar to conventional fats but can significantly reduce calories without affecting taste, texture or digestion. It is made by breaking down non-genetically modified rapeseed oil into glycerol and fatty acids, then adding a food-grade propoxy group to relink the fatty acids and glycerol so that it looks, feels, tastes and cooks much like fat. The central propoxy link resists the action of digestive enzymes, inhibiting heat release through key parts of digestion, and is safely broken down later in the environment, just like any other fat. 
EPG, an ingredient that removes most of the calories from fat, is now a key ingredient in GatsbyChocolate's new line of "better-for-you" chocolates. Gatsby Chocolate sees the use of this key ingredient as an important breakthrough because it can reduce the calories in the product formula while maintaining the smooth texture of the Chocolate.
The EPG fat replacement technology makes it possible to retain the taste, texture and texture that people like in chocolate while significantly reducing overall calories. Consumers now have a healthier option to satisfy their chocolate cravings without the sugar, calories and guilt of regular chocolate bars. EPG makes it possible for brands to offer chocolate lovers the possibility of indulging while being healthier than regular chocolate.
