陶氏宣布Omega-9健康油将作为其第一个在健康领域的突破

Shanghai - 2012 年 06 月 26 日

As part of its 2015 Sustainability Goals, Dow committed to achieving at least three breakthroughs that will significantly help solve world challenges in the areas of energy and climate change, water, food, housing and health. Today, Dow declared Omega-9 Oils as its first Breakthrough to World Challenges in the area of health. Found widely throughout North American and increasingly in Asia, Europe and Latin America, the oils are used by more than 100 leading restaurant chains and packaged food companies.

作为2015年可持续目标的一部分,陶氏化学承诺将在三方面达成突破,以极大地帮助改善全球所面临的能源、气候变化、水资源、粮食、住房以及健康等领域的问题。

今天,陶氏宣布Omega-9健康油将作为其第一个在健康领域的突破。

如今Omega-9健康油的踪迹遍布北美,同时越来越多地出现在亚洲,欧洲乃至拉丁美洲地区。

全球100多家行业领先的餐厅和包装食品公司都在使用Omega-9健康油。

 

Derived from Dow subsidiary Dow AgroSciences' NEXERA™ canola and sunflower seeds, Omega-9 Oils have zero trans fat and the lowest amount of saturated fat among commonly used cooking oils. Since 2005, the use of Omega-9 Oils has eliminated more than one billion pounds of trans and saturated fat from the North American diet. Trans and saturated fat in a diet have shown to increase the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

Omega-9 健康油是陶氏化学全资子公司陶氏益农' NEXERA™芥子和葵花籽种植,压榨,生产而成的。

与市场上其他烹饪用食用油相比,Omega-9 健康油不含反式脂肪,饱和脂肪含量最低。

2005年开始,Omega-9 健康油已经在北美地区帮助人们从日常餐饮中减少了超过10亿磅的反式脂肪酸和饱和脂肪酸。数据显示反式脂肪和饱和脂肪会提高心脏病和第二型糖尿病的风险。

 

 “Although the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has required food labeling of trans fats since 2006, many processed foods still contain unhealthy levels of trans fats and high levels of saturated fat,” said Neil Hawkins, vice president of Sustainability and EH&S. “Omega-9 Oils, developed by Dow AgroSciences, are a critical step in addressing world health problems related to nutrition and lifestyle – and another example of Dow innovation pointed squarely at the most pressing issues of our time.”

“尽管美国食品药品监督管理已经从2006年开始要求在食品标签上标明反式脂肪的含量,但是许多加工食品仍然含有大量对健康不利的反式脂肪以及高含量的饱和脂肪。”

陶氏化学可持续及环境、安全与健康部门副总裁Neil Hawkins如是说。他同时说道:“陶氏益农研发的Omega-9 健康油是解决全球与营养和生活方式息息相关的健康问题迈出的重要的一步–同时也是陶氏化学不断创新,致力于直指当今世界面临的最紧迫问题的又一有力证明。

 

 In order to be designated as a Breakthrough to World Challenges, Omega-9 Oils passed a rigorous, transparent evaluation by Dow scientists and external stakeholders. Omega-9 Oils, like other candidates in Dow's R&D pipeline, were evaluated for positive impact on millions of human lives, as well as minimal environmental impact from development through manufacturing, distribution, use and endlife. 

为了能够有资格作为“解决全球问题的一大突破”,Omega-9 健康油通过了陶氏化学科学家和外部人员严格、透明的评估。

如同其他所有陶氏研发管道的其他产品一样,Omega-9 健康油经过严格评估,对数以百万计的人类生活有积极意义,同时在研发、生产、销售、使用直至产品最后处理阶段都把对环境的影响降到最低。
