Crude Palm Oil
Crude Palm Oil is an edible oil that is extracted from the pulp of oil palmfruits and it is an important vegetable oil that is used as the raw material for both food and non-food industries. Main usage of Crude Palm Oil is foredible purposes after refining, and some was also used for energy purposeby turning it into biodiesel with Glycerine as the by product.
Crude Palm Oil specifications as below :
FFA as Palmitic : 5.0% Max
Moisture & Impurities (M&I) : 0.5% Max
PFAD (Palm Fatty Acid Distillate)
PFAD (Palm Fatty Acid Distillate) is the byproduct of crude palm oil afterrefining. PFAD is used in many industries such as laundry soap, animal feedindustries and also as raw material for the oleo chemical industry. PFAD isalso often considered as a valuable and low cost raw material for biodiesel production. It is composed of free fatty acids which are oleic, stearicand palmitic.
Palm Fatty Acid Distillate specifications as below :
FFA as Palmitic : 70% Min
Moisture & Impurities (M&I) : 1% Max
Saponifiable Matter : 95% Min
RBD Palm Oil
RBD Palm Oil is derived from the process of refined, bleached anddeodorized crude palm oil. One of the main applications of RBD Palm Oil isfor cooking oil and formula for shortening, margarine and other ediblepurposes. RBD PO can also be processed further into RBD Palm Olein and RBD Palm Stearin.
RBD Palm Oil specifications as below :
FFA as Palmitic : 0.1% Max
Moisture & Impurities (M&I) : 0.1% Max
Iodine Value (IV) : 50 – 55
Melting Point : 33 – 39°C
Color (5 1/4 Lovibond Cell) : 3 Red Max
RBD Palm Olein
RBD Palm Olein is obtained from the fractionation of RBD Palm Oil whichundergoes the process of crystallization at a controlled temperature inwhich RBD Palm oil is chilled until crystals are formed. One of the mostprominent applications of RBD Palm Olein includes salad and cooking oils.
RBD Palm Oil specifications as below :
FFA as Palmitic : 0.1% Max
Moisture & Impurities (M&I) : 0.1% Max
Iodine Value (IV) : 56 Min
Melting Point : 24°C Max
Color (5 1/4 Lovibond Cell) : 3 Red Max
RBD Palm Stearin
RBD Palm Stearin is obtained from fractionating RBD Palm Oil to separateOlein from Stearin. RBD Palm Stearin is an essential raw materials used byshortening and margarine industries, as a source for producing specialtyfats for coating in confectionery and also used in the manufacturing of oleochemicals.
RBD Palm Stearin specifications as below :
FFA as Palmitic : 0.2% Max
Moisture & Impurities (M&I) : 0.15% Max
Iodine Value (IV) : 48 Max
Melting Point : 44°C Min
Color (5 1/4 Lovibond Cell) : 3 Red Max
