REFINED PALM OIL

Refined palm oil is obtained from the fruit of the palm tree (Elaeis guineensis) and undergoes a refining, bleaching, and deodorization (RBD) process, resulting in a pure oil with excellent thermal stability, uniform color, and neutral flavor. Rich in vitamin E (tocopherols and tocotrienols) and naturally resistant to oxidation, it is widely used in the food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and biodiesel industries.

It is especially valued for its high resistance to elevated temperatures, long shelf life, and excellent performance in industrial frying, margarine, biscuits, snacks, chocolates, soaps, cosmetics, and other industrial applications.
