Palm oil is a natural food that has been consumed for more than
5000 years. It is derived from the mesocarp of the fruit of the
oil palm species Elaeis Guineensis. Currently, it is the second
largest vegetable oil in the world production and the largest in
world exports.
Today, palm oil is consumed widely as cooking and frying oil. It
is also used as an ingredient in fat blends for a vast array of
food products such as margarine and shortening.

suitable for cooking, confectionery and biscuit making.

• Refined Palm Kernel Oil
Originates from the kernel (seed) of the palm fruit and is yellowish
in colour in the crude form. It can be easily refined to lighter colour
oil suitable for both edible and inedible applications.
Palm kernel oil forms the basis for many specialty fat products.
The oil is an excellent spray oil for crackers and cookies as well
as in the making of margarine. Other than that, it is also used
in modern soap making and cosmetics.
• Refined Coconut Oil
Refined coconut oil is freshly extracted from the meat of the coconut
and then refined, bleached and deodorized. It is used extensively
as frying oil in some regions. In addition, coconut oil is also used
as a spray oil for crackers and biscuits and as a creaming fat in
biscuits. In the ice-cream industry, coconut oil is an excellent ice-cream
couverture fat. The oil is also suitable for soap making. |
