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.
