Palm Oil and Palm Olein

Palm Oil

Palm oil is a versatile and widely used vegetable oil derived from the fruit of the oil palm tree. Known for its high levels of saturated fats, it is a popular ingredient in various culinary and industrial applications. Palm oil enhances the flavor of food while maintaining its own distinctive taste. Additionally, it boasts a long shelf life, making it an advantageous choice for food manufacturers and processors.

Palm Olein

Palm olein is the liquid form of palm oil obtained through the fractionation process. This process separates the oil into its liquid and solid components. Palm olein is highly prized for its clear appearance, stability at high temperatures, and its ability to remain liquid at room temperature, which is particularly beneficial for cooking. It is commonly used in frying, baking, and as a base for margarine and other food products.
