Plant butter, also known as "margarine" or "hydrogenated oil", was invented by German chemist Weihan Nomen and patented in 1902. The principle is that when vegetable oil is heated, a metal catalyst is added and hydrogen gas is introduced to turn the liquid grease into a semi-solid grease. Because margarine is solid, it is easier to store than liquid natural vegetable oils, its price is lower than natural animal fats, and it has a long shelf life and good taste, so it is popular among people.
The main ingredients of vegetable fresh cream are vegetable fat (about 20%) and animal or vegetable proteins with high nutritional value.
