Palm oil is one of the world’s most widely used edible oils and serves as a major dietary-fat source for more than three billion people across over 150 countries. Its broad availability, functional characteristics and suitability for numerous food applications have made it an important ingredient in global food supply chains. Palm oil is used directly as cooking oil and indirectly in many packaged, bakery, confectionery and processed-food products.

Food manufacturers use palm oil and its fractions in cooking oils, commercial frying, margarine, shortening, instant noodles, baked goods, biscuits, confectionery, non-dairy creamers and specialty-fat systems. Different grades-including RBD Palm Oil, RBD Palm Olein and RBD Palm Stearin-provide different melting, texture and processing characteristics. Product selection should therefore be based on the intended formulation, operating temperature and required finished-product performance.
