Spread

Before the name "Spread" appeared, it was called as: "Light oil", "Ultra-light oil", "Combined oil". Spreads are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids that are beneficial to health due to the content of high-quality vegetable oils, and also contain beta-carotene, which is not only provitamin A, but also has antioxidant properties. Spreads contain vegetable oils, which contributes to low or no cholesterol levels. The World Health Organization recommended in 2005 to reduce the consumption of saturated fat to reduce the risk of heart disease. According to the level of trans isomers, GOST R 52100-2003 sets the value for spreads to 4 %. Moreover, their content in butter is usually 4-8%. Spreads are used both for direct use in food and in the production of other products, for example, bakery products.
