What is palmoil refined?
Palm oil refined, also known as elaeis guineensis oil, is a vegetable oil that is extracted from the fruit of the oil palm, the elaeis guineensis. This oil is one of the most widely used vegetable oils in the world, partly due to its versatility. After the refining process, palm oil is often used in a wide range of products, such as cosmetics and industrial applications. The refining process ensures that impurities are removed and the oil gets a neutral taste and odor, making it extremely suitable for various applications.

How is elaeis guineensis oil made?
Palm oil production begins with the harvesting of the oil palm fruit. These fruits are then steamed to extract the oil. The crude palm oil that is extracted still contains a number of impurities such as free fatty acids, pigments and odours. In order to make the oil suitable for consumption or further industrial processing, it undergoes a refining process.
During refining, impurities are removed by a combination of physical and chemical processes. This includes decolourisation, deodorisation and the removal of phospholipids and free fatty acids. The result is a pure, neutral oil that is stable and has a long shelf life. This refined oil is safe for use in food, cosmetics and other products.
