RBD Palm Kernel Stearin( RBD PKS)
RBD Palm Kernel Stearin (RBD PKS)
RBD Palm Kernel Olein Stearin is procured from refined, bleached, and deodorized palm kernel fractions. It is specifically formulated to deliver an outstanding mouthfeel with optimal melting characteristics tailored for particular applications.
As a premium product obtained from the fractionation of palm kernel oil, RBD Palm Kernel Stearin features a sharp solid fat content (SFC) profile, rendering it highly appropriate for utilization in confectionery fats.
The solid fraction acquired through fractionation of RBD Palm Kernel Oil is extensively employed in the manufacture of confectionery fat and other fat applications.

About RBD Palm Kernel Stearin
RBD Palm Stearin is a plant-based fat procured from the palm kernel, the seed of the oil palm tree. It exists as a solid lipid at ambient temperature and is extensively employed across both culinary and industrial sectors.
Solid Fat: Owing to its firm consistency at ambient temperature, comparable to coconut oil, RBD Palm Kernel Stearin is optimal for applications demanding stable solid fats.
Saturated Fat: This fat is abundant in saturated fatty acid compounds, particularly stearic acid, which is prized for its functional characteristics in the fabrication of candles, beauty products, cleansing bars, and other industrial commodities.
RBD Palm kernel Stearin Applications
Application in Food Industry
Refined Palm Kernel Stearin 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 Speciality Fats
RBD Palm Kernel stearin – 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.
Application in Industries
Refined Palm Kernel Stearin 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.
