1. Source and extraction process of palm kernel oil

Source and ingredients

Palm kernel oil, derived from the essence of palm kernels, has a very different composition from palm oil, but is quite similar to coconut oil. Palm kernel oil comes from palm kernels and has a similar composition to coconut oil, with a low free fatty acid content and a slightly yellowish crude oil.

2.Extraction process and characteristics

In the palm oil mill, the kernels are partially vacuum pre-dried and then extracted mechanically. This oil is of high quality, and the free fatty acid content of the crude oil is usually controlled below 2%. The unrefined crude oil is slightly yellow. After simple physical refining, bright palm kernel oil can be obtained, which is suitable for both edible and non-edible fields. Superior oil quality is obtained through vacuum pre-drying and mechanical extraction; it can be further extracted into solid palm kernel stearin. Its clear melting curve makes it shine in the confectionery and oil industry, and its rapid crystallization characteristics make it a place in sugar coating or dipping products.

3. Application of palm kernel oil

Edible and non-edible uses

At room temperature, palm kernel oil is semi-solid. After further fractionation, higher-value components can be obtained, such as palm kernel stearin with excellent melting properties. Its clear melting curve makes it shine in the confectionery and oil industry, while its rapid crystallization characteristics make it a place in sugar coating or dip products. It is semi-solid at room temperature, and its melting and crystallization characteristics make it widely used in the confectionery and sugar coating industry.
