RBD Palm Kernel Olein
RBD Palm Kernel Olein
RBD Palm Kernel Olein is a completely refined, bleached, and deodorized plant-based oil procured from palm kernel oil. It is a lauric-based liquid fraction obtained through fractionation of palm kernel.
The oil is distinguished by its elevated melting point and steep melting profile, which permits it to solidify rapidly on ice cream coatings, creating non-brittle, durable coatings that do not fracture when consumed. It can also be hydrogenated to yield a sharper melting profile, rendering it appropriate for utilization in coating fats.
Furthermore, RBD Palm Kernel Olein is valuable in the manufacture of margarine fats, particularly when interesterified with palm stearin. Its elevated C12 fatty acid concentration also renders it an outstanding component for soap and detergent production.
RBD Palm Kernel Olein is procured wholly from plant-based palm kernels in Malaysia.

About RBD Palm Kernel Olein
Palm kernel olein is procured from the kernels (seeds) of the oil palm tree, scientifically identified as Elaeis Guineensis. It is one of the two primary oils generated from the oil palm, the other being palm oil, which is extracted from the mesocarp of the palm fruit. Both oils possess broad applications across diverse sectors and culinary uses.
Crude palm kernel oil undergoes refinement to boost oxidative stability & enhance nutritional qualities.
Refining process – degumming, bleaching, deodorizing. Eliminates contaminants, reduces colour, removes odor. Yields stable, premium-grade oil for diverse applications.
Refined Palm Kernel Olein Applications
Application in Food Industry
Refined Palm Kernel Olein is extensively employed in culinary applications, particularly in regions where oil palm is abundant. It possesses a distinctive flavor and is frequently utilized in traditional dishes. It also serves as a flavoring component in confections, coffee creamers, and peanut butter. Refined palm kernel olein is often used as a substitute for milk fat in various food products.
Application in Industries
Refined Palm Kernel Olein for industrial use – high melting point & solid consistency. Employed in soaps, detergents, cosmetics & candles. Direct use or converted into oleochemicals (fatty acids, alkyl esters) for diverse products.
Application in Speciality Fats
RBD Palm Kernel Olein – rich in saturated fatty acids, especially lauric acid. Key in margarine, specialty fats, ice cream, filled milk & coffee whiteners. Liquid oil component for margarine & shortening.
