Palm Oil

Palm oil is an edible vegetable oil made from palm fruit. Palm fruit is the source of both palm oil (extracted from the fruit) and palm kernel oil (extracted from the seeds). Palm oil is a high-quality oil used in cooking, cleaning, and even cosmetic products. Refined Palm Oil: Refined palm oil is obtained from refining crude palm oil. It is a light-yellow liquid and semi-solid at room temperature, melting to a clear yellow liquid when heated. Refined palm oil provides texture and taste for a variety of products from margarine and confectionery products to chocolate and ice creams. RBD Palm Olein (RBD refined, bleached and deodorized): RBD palm oil is obtained from separating refined palm oil to liquid parts (olein) and solid parts (stearin). It is a clear yellow liquid at room temperature. Free from odors and flavors, it is a popular choice for cooking and frying in the food industry. Palm Stearin (Vegetable Fat): Palm stearin is a white solid at room temperature which melts to a yellow clear liquid when heated. This solid fraction of palm oil is produced through crystallization and primarily found in shortenings and ghee.
