제목 :  Palm-alt Oil


내용 : 

Palm oil is used in many things we eat and use every day.

It is in food, in beauty products, and biofuel.

However, producing palm oil leads to environmental damage because of deforestation(삼림벌채).

A team of researchers in Scotland believe they have found an alternative to palm oil.

Scientists from queen Margaret University in Edinburgh have created a wholly plant-based oil that is better for the environment and for our health.

The university's new PALM-ALT product is 70 percent better for the environment.

This is because it is more sustainable(지속가능한) and leads to less biodiversity loss.

It is also healthier than palm oil, with 80 percent less saturated fat(포화지방) and 30 percent fewer calories.

 

The researchers believe their work could change how things are made.

Around half of all the food and cosmetics we currently buy contain palm oil.

The use of palm oil is growing, so more trees have to be cut down in tropical countries.

PALM-ALT is made from a by product(부산물) from the linseed(아마씨) flower and rapesseed(유채) oil.

Researcher Catriona Liddle spoke to the BBC about PALM-ALT. 

She called it the "holy grail(성배)" to replace palm oil.

She found it does the same things palm oil does.

She said : "We've put it through some special sensory(감각의) testing to see if a panel can tell the difference between our product and traditional palm [oil], and they can't.

She is now hoping businesses will start using it instead of regular palm oil.
