The founder of the LTC companies, Dr. Michael M. Blumenthal, shifted the paradigm of understanding frying from studying the changes in oil and food brought about by the process, to an understanding of the process that can predict the quality of the food to be prepared.

All previous art, data and experience were transformed into a mathematically and chemically rigorous model. In the process, LTC has changed forever the way food scientists view the art and science of frying, and the research and technologies have become a mainstay of industrial frying technology.

The Libra Technical Center (LTC) staff, technologies and equipment are heavily geared towards helping our customers understand the frying process as it relates to each individual frying application.

Why? Because no two frying applications are exactly the same! To maximize both food quality and process productivity, each application is studied by LTC in order to determine the optimum method(s) required to enhance and improve the existing process.
