Description
Refined Palm Oil is a versatile and widely used vegetable oil obtained from the fruit of the oil palm tree. Through an advanced refining process, impurities are removed, resulting in a clear, pale yellow oil with a neutral taste and odor, ensuring it does not interfere with the natural flavors of food.
With a high smoke point (~235°C), refined palm oil is perfect for deep frying, sautéing, baking, and food manufacturing. It is commonly found in processed foods, margarine, confectionery, and snack production. Additionally, it is a key ingredient in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and cleaning products due to its moisturizing and stabilizing properties.
Palm oil is cholesterol-free, trans-fat-free, and non-hydrogenated, making it a stable and long-lasting option for food preparation. It contains palmitic acid, oleic acid, and linoleic acid, which contribute to its smooth texture and oxidative stability. Furthermore, it is rich in vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage.
Despite its widespread use, palm oil production raises environmental concerns, particularly regarding deforestation and sustainability. Many producers now focus on certified sustainable palm oil (CSPO) to ensure ethical sourcing and minimize ecological impact.
