Ensuring food safety for a long time has a global
character. The results of world scientific studies
confirm the negative effect of trans-isomers of
unsaturated fatty acids on the human body,
convincingly proving that their consumption increases
the risk of various diseases, including cardiovascular
diseases. Taking care of public health, many European
countries at the legislative level strictly regulate the
content of trans-isomers of unsaturated fatty acids,
obliging manufacturers to also issue information on the
quantitative content of TIUFA on packaging. Such
measures can reduce morbidity and mortality, but
require the introduction of progressive technological
processes. The work analyzes numerous literature
sources and generalizes the material on existing types
of technological modifications of fats -
transesterification and fractionation, which allow
obtaining specialized fats without trans-isomers or with
a low content of trans-isomers of fatty acids
