Turning vegetable oil into a gel creates healthy hotdogs with good 'mouth-feel'

What is this research about? Excessive consumption of saturated fat (found in animal fat) is unhealthy and can lead to a greater risk of cardiovascular disease. Unsaturated fat (found in vegetable oils like canola, soybean, and flaxseed) is a healthier alternative. However, replacing solid animal fats with vegetable oils in foods like sausages and hotdogs can lead to unpleasant and rubbery textures.
