Confectionery fat (shortening) is an ingredient used in the confectionery industry. It can be made from hydrogenated coconut oil or hydrogenated palm kernel oil.

Hydrogenation is the process by which liquid vegetable oils are converted into solids. This is done to make the fat more resistant to oxidation and to preserve its properties longer.

Confectionery fat can be used to prepare various confectionery products, such as:

  • creams,
  • fillings,
  • icing,
  • cookie dough,
  • cake and pastry batters.

It can also be used for frying foods, as it has a high smoke point.

Confectionery fat may contain various additives, such as:

  • emulsifiers,
  • preservatives,
  • colorants,
  • flavorings.

When choosing confectionery fat, pay attention to its composition, shelf life, and storage conditions.

Use of confectionery fat in cooking should be carried out in accordance with the recipe and the preparation method.
