Palm oil is derived from the flesh of the fruit of the oil palm species E. Guineensis. In its virgin form, the oil is bright orange - red due to the high content of carotene.
Palmoil is semi - solid at room temperature; a characteristic brought about by its approx. 50 percent saturation level. Palm oil (and its products) has good resistance to oxidation and heat at prolonged elevated temperatures; hence, making palm oil an ideal ingredient in frying oilblends. Manufacturers and end - users around the world incorporate high percentages of palm oil in their frying oil blends for both performance and economic reasons.
In fact, in many instances, palm oil has been used as 100 percent replacement for traditional hydrogenated seed oils such as soybean oil and canola. Products fried in palm oil include potato chips, frenchfries, doughnuts, ramen noodles and nuts.
The oil palm produces two types of oils; crude palm oil (CPO) from the fibrous mesocarp and crude palm kernel oil (CPKO) from the kernels. Although both oils originate from the same fruit, palm oil is chemically and nutritionally different from palm kernel oil. It is one of the only two mesocarp oils available commercially, the other being olive oil.
In conventional milling process, the FFB's are steriliszed and the fruitlets stripped off. The loose fruitlets are then digested and pressed to extract the CPO. The kernels are separated from the fibrous mesocarp in the press cake and later cracked to obtained CPKO.
CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF PALM OILS:
Crude Palm Oil is the richest natural source of Tocotrienols. The Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) has developed a special patented technology for extraction. The latest technology to purify Tocotrienols from the fruits of oil palm (Elais guineensis) was developed to produce a superior quality and purity.
PALM OIL
Palm oil, being a vegetable oils, is cholesterol - free. Having a naturally semi solid characteristic at room temperature with a specific origin melting point between 33'C to 39'C, it does not require hydrogenation for use as a food an ingredient.
CPO is deep orange red in colour due to the high content of natural carotenes. Palm oil is rich source of carotenoids and vitamin E which confers natural stability against oxidative deterioration.
Fractionation separates oil into liquid and solid fractions. Palm oil can be fractionated into liquid (olein) and solid (stearin) components.
Palm oil has a balanced ratio of unsaturated and saturated fatty acids. It contains 40% oleic acid (monounsaturated fatty acid), 10% linoleic acid (polyunsaturated fatty acid ), 45% palmitic acid and 5% stearic acid (saturated fatty acid). This composition results in an edible oil that is suitable for use in a variety of food applications.

Packed: to the bulk or bags according to the buyer's petition.
Crude Palm Oil (CPO) is an edible oil which is extracted from the pulp of fruit of oil palms. The color of pulp is naturally reddish in colour as it contains high amounts of beta-carotene. Crude palm oil or palm oil is one of the most consumed and produced oils in the world. This easy to produce, and very stable oil is used for a wide variety of foods, cosmetics, hygiene products, and can also be used as a source of biofuel or biodiesel.
Palm Kernel Oil is produced after separating the seed from the oil palm fruit, cracking and removing the shell. It can be further processed into Crude Palm Kernel Oil and Palm Kernel Expeller or Cake. Palm Kernel Oil is commonly used as a commercial cooking oil due to its stability at high temperatures.
RBD Palm Olein is the liquid fraction of palm oil obtained by dry-fractionation process. The product is widely used in food processing industries such as confectionery, noodles, snacks, dairy beverages, canned food, etc.
