Don't know about penguin brand specifically, but ps99 is a commercial Hi ratio shortening usually sold in large cubes. It's used in bakeries. That's all I know ... sorry.

I spent the better part of this morning reading every thread here about Alpine, Sweetex and hi-ratio shortenings as well as on other websites. icon_eek.gif

On a thread from here, "PS99" was mentioned and would never be used again. Like I said, I read a whole lot of info and can't remember which one that came from.... If you do a search here for "Alpine", "Sweetex" or "hi ratio shortening", you might could find the specific one I'm remembering.
Sorry!!! icon_redface.gif
