How is hydrogenated palm oil made?
The hydrogenated palm oil production process begins with the refining of crude palm oil. During this process, impurities are removed to obtain a pure base oil. The oil is then hydrogenated, a chemical process in which hydrogen is added to the oil. This is done in the presence of a catalyst, usually nickel, under controlled conditions of temperature and pressure. The result is a hardened oil with a higher melting point and improved stability, perfect for various industrial applications.
The function of palm oil 55-60
Palm oil 55-60 offers numerous benefits due to the unique properties that result from the hydrogenation process. Not only is the oil more stable and less susceptible to spoilage, but it also has a consistent texture and melting point. This makes it an ideal ingredient in food products such as margarine and shortenings, where stability and consistency are crucial. In addition, palm oil 55-60 is rich in saturated fats, which contributes to the firmness and structure of finished products. In the cosmetics industry, it is used in creams and lotions for its excellent moisturizing properties and long-term stability.
