Palm Oil for Food Applications Global Supply

Palm oil is one of the most versatile vegetable oils used in food manufacturing. It can function as a liquid cooking oil, semi-solid ingredient or solid-fat component. These characteristics allow food producers to select suitable palm-based products according to the required texture, melting behaviour, processing conditions and finished-product specifications.

Palm oil and palm-based fractions are commonly used in cooking oils, commercial frying oils, margarine, shortening, bakery fats, biscuits, cakes, pastries, confectionery, instant noodles, cream fillings, non-dairy creamers, frozen desserts and processed foods. The attached image represents this versatility through prepared vegetable wraps and fresh food ingredients.
