introduction | palm kernel oil, also known as palm kernel oil, is taken from palm kernel. Palm kernel oil contains a lot of lower fatty acids, so its properties are very different from palm oil, but very similar to coconut oil. Fresh palm kernel oil is milky white or yellowish, has a solid consistency, and has a favorite walnut fragrance. Palm kernel oil is easier to oxidize and decompose during storage, and its taste becomes spicy. |
main ingredient | palm kernel oil contains a large amount of lower fatty acids, mainly including lauric acid. in addition, it also contains a small amount of cellulose, moisture, insoluble matter, free fatty acids, phospholipids, trace metals, etc. |
traits | palm kernel oil is semi-solid. At lower temperatures, the solid content is higher, but when the temperature is increased to 30°C, the solid content will drop rapidly. Palm kernel oil is an excellent raw material for the production of oil chemical products, including fatty acids, fatty alcohols, glycerin and other derived products. |
efficacy and function | palm kernel oil can be used in industrial production besides edible. its efficacy and function are as follows: 1. edible efficacy palm kernel oil is an edible oil, which can absorb a large amount of fat after eating, and these saturated fats are also important components of fat. you have cholesterol in human serum in your hand, it can soften blood vessels and reduce blood lipids and blood pressure. 2. The health effect of palm kernel oil is also very good. This oil contains a lot of linoleic acid and tocopherol. After these substances are absorbed by the human body, they can prevent vascular rigidity and improve nerve cell activity. It can delay aging and improve human quality, which is of great benefit to the protection of human health. |
application field | palm kernel oil will be used as shortening in food processing industry. shortening is very different from margarine. it is 100% pure fat, while palm kernel oil is called saturated fat, which can completely meet the requirements of shortening. usually, when people make sandwich biscuits, cakes, bread, French fries and other foods, you can add a proper amount of palm kernel oil, which can have the same effect as ghee. Fried food is one of the common uses of palm kernel oil in life, because this edible oil has super antioxidant properties. The tocopherol it contains is a natural high-efficiency antioxidant, which is not easy to polymerize with acid esters, and It is conducive to the production of healthy fatty acids. Like the instant noodles that people usually eat, they are all fried with palm kernel oil. |
extraction process | palm kernel oil is extracted from the core of oil palm fruit. |
