OIL PALM PRODUCTS
Palm oil is the most traded vegetable oil in the world today and has been used as a dietary constituent for nearly five thousand years.

Palm oil is obtained from the mesocarp of the Elaeis guineensis fruit, simply by cooking, mashing and pressing. In this process, the seeds are separated and after cracking and removing the shell, the kernel can be processed to yield palm kernel oil and palm kernel cake.

REFINED, BLEACHED & DEODORISED (RBD) PALM OIL

RBD 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 on slight heating.

RBD palm oil is used as frying oil for food industries such as instant noodles and snack food. It can also be used in manufacture of margarine, shortening, vanaspathy, ice cream, condensed milk and soap.

REFINED, BLEACHED & DEODORISED (RBD) PALM OLEIN

RBD palm olein is obtained from fractionating refined palm oil to separate liquid parts (olein) from solid parts (stearin). It is a clear yellow liquid at room temperature.

RBD palm olein is used as cooking oil as well as frying oil for food industries such as snack food and ready-to-eat food. It is also used as a raw material for margarine and shortening.

PALM FATTY ACID DISTILLATE

Palm fatty acid distillate ("PFAD") is a by-product from refining crude palm oil. It is a light brown solid at room temperature, melting to a brown liquid on heating.

Palm fatty acid distillate is used in soap industries, animal feed industries and as raw materials for oleochemical industries. Vitamin E can be extracted from PFAD.
