Palm oil, refined
What is palm oil?
Palm oil is a vegetable oil obtained from the fruit or pulp of the oil palm. It consists of 50 % saturated fats.
How is palm oil produced?
Crude palm oil is obtained by sterilising and pressing the flesh of the palm fruit. This is initially orange-yellow to brownish red in colour due to its high carotene content. The refining process removes the carotene and the light colour remains.
Where is palm oil used?
Thanks to its excellent heat and oxidation stability, palm oil is used as an edible oil for cooking, frying and deep-frying, especially in Asia and parts of Africa. It also plays a major role internationally in the production of baked goods, margarine and confectionery. Palm oil and its derivatives play a key role in various formulations for the cosmetics industry and detergent production. In the technical sector, it is the basis for the production of numerous oleochemical products, which are used in lubricants and candles, for example.
Where is palm oil grown?
The largest palm oil producers include Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Colombia.
