How is elaeis guineensis oil made?
The production process of refined palm kernel oil begins with the harvesting of the oil palm fruits. The kernels are separated from the pulp and then dried. After drying, the kernels are pressed to obtain crude palm kernel oil. However, this crude oil still contains impurities and must be further refined. The refining process involves several steps, such as degumming, neutralization, bleaching and deodorization. This purifies the oil and makes it suitable for both food and cosmetic applications. The end result is a high-quality, pure oil that remains stable at various temperatures and has a long shelf life.
The function of refined palm kernel oil
Refined palm kernel oil has unique properties that make it a popular ingredient in a variety of applications. The oil is rich in lauric acid, a saturated fatty acid known for its antimicrobial and antibacterial properties. This makes it an excellent ingredient in products such as soaps, cosmetics and personal care products. In addition, palm kernel oil has a high oxidation stability, which means it does not spoil quickly and therefore has a long shelf life, even under changing environmental conditions. This stability also makes it suitable for use in the food industry, where it is often used as a cooking and frying oil or as an ingredient in margarines and other spreadable products.
