反式脂肪(TFA)是一大类含有反式双键的脂肪酸的简称。大量研究显示,反式脂肪会增加心血管疾病的风险,人们对它的健康问题颇为关注,很多人也很担心。在食品工业中,常用的部分氢化植物油就是食品中反式脂肪的一大来源,“避免反式脂肪”也成为各国政府和食品行业一个重要的努力方向。欧盟委员会此前通过了一份题为“反式脂肪酸,我们的立场”的 Trans fat (TFA) is short for a class of fatty acids that contain trans double bonds. Numerous studies have shown that trans fat increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and that people are concerned about its health and many are worried. In the food industry, commonly used partially hydrogenated vegetable oil is a major source of trans fats in foodstuffs. “Avoiding trans fats” has also become an important direction for governments and the food industry. The European Commission has previously passed a copy entitled “Trans Fatty Acid, Our Positions”.
