The oil palm tree (Elaeis guineensis) is a native to West Africa and was imported into SE Asia in the mid 19th century.  Oil palm flourishes in the humid tropics and produces high yield when grown 10 degrees north and south of the equator. Palm fruit develops in dense bunches weighing 10 kilograms (kg) or more and containing more than a thousand individual fruits similar in size to a small plum which tree produces 2 types of oil.�  Palm oil (PO) is obtained from the flesh of the fruit and Palm Kernel Oil (PKO) is produced by extracting the oil from the internal seed (Kernel). Every oil palm tree requires approximately 3m diameter clear around the base of each tree to allow full growth.�  Oil palm is highly productive crop which is capable of yielding more oil from less land than any other vegetable oil in existence.  One oil palm tree will produce ongoing fruit for up to 30 years deeming the crop as high yielding and sustainable..

Crude Palm Oil (CPO) is an edible oil which is extracted from the pulp of fruit of oil palms. The color of pulp is naturally reddish in colour as it contains high amounts of beta-carotene. Crude palm oil or palm oil is one of the most consumed and produced oils in the world. This easy to produce, and very stable oil is used for a wide variety of foods, cosmetics, hygiene products, and can also be used as a source of biofuel or biodiesel. Palm Kernel Oil is produced after separating the seed from the oil palm fruit, cracking and removing the shell. It can be further processed into Crude Palm Kernel Oil and Palm Kernel Expeller or Cake. Palm Kernel Oil is commonly used as a commercial cooking oil due to its stability at high temperatures. RBD Palm Olein is the liquid fraction of palm oil obtained by dry-fractionation process. The product is widely used in food processing industries such as confectionery, noodles, snacks, dairy beverages, canned food, etc.

Oils And Fats Palm Oil

Palm oil is an edible vegetable oil made from palm fruit. Palm fruit is the source of both palm oil (extracted from the fruit) and palm kernel oil (extracted from the seeds). It is a light-yellow liquid and semi-solid at room temperature, melting to a clear yellow liquid when heated.

Palm oil is the most costcompetitive versatile and widely produced vegetable oil The major products are CPO Crude Palm Oil various forms of PPO Processed Palm Oil and PPKO Processed Palm Kernel Oil We are committed to sustainable palm oil sourcing from Indonesia and Malaysia and to protect forests and areas of high conservation value

Palm oil is a vegetable oil obtained from the mesocarp (reddish pulp) of the oil palm fruit. The oil is utilised in food production, cosmetics, and as a biofuel. Oil palms have been used by humans for over 5,000 years. Palm oil's highly saturated nature causes it to solidify at room temperature in temperate climates, making it a suitable substitute for butter or hydrogenated vegetable oils in applications where solid fat is desired, such as pastry dough and baked products. The increased usage of palm oil in the food industry is due to health concerns about trans fats in hydrogenated vegetable oils.Around 70% of personal care items, such as soap, shampoo, cosmetics, and lotion, include palm oil-derived components.
