[additional notes]

FMC Corporation is emphasizing their comprehensive fat mimetic system in maintaining quality in food consistency. They create a successful fat feel by combining food systems, since fat mimetics experience difficulty replicating all of the elements of fats, which is not preferred by consumers. There is an emphasis on no fat and no calories, which was highly prioritized in the early 1990s.
