RBD Palm Oil is a light-yellow liquid or semi-solid at room temperature, which melts into a clear yellow liquid upon slight heating. It is produced by refining crude palm oil.
RBD Palm Oil is widely used by major food industries, including instant noodles, snack foods, and others, primarily as a frying and cooking medium. It is also utilized in the production of margarine, shortenings, ice cream, condensed milk, vanaspati, and soap.
Palm oil is an edible vegetable oil extracted from the mesocarp (reddish pulp) of the oil palm fruit.
Beyond food manufacturing, palm oil is used in beauty products and as biofuel. It accounts for approximately 33% of global oil production from oil crops. Due to its stability and ability to maintain flavor and consistency in processed foods, palm oil is often preferred by food manufacturers.
RBD Palm Oil is 100% derived from vegetable-based palm oil.
RBD Palm Oil is from 100% Natural Tropical Vegetable Palm Oil Origin from Malaysia and Kosher Certified.

RBD Palm Oil stands for Refined, Bleached, and Deodorized palm oil. It is palm oil that has undergone a refining process to remove impurities, color, and odor, making it suitable for a wide range of culinary and industrial applications.
Refining Process : Crude palm oil is initially extracted from the fruit of the oil palm tree. This crude oil contains impurities, free fatty acids, and a reddish color caused by carotenoids. The refining process removes these impurities through steps such as degumming, neutralization, and washing, resulting in a clearer, purer oil.
Bleaching : After refining, the oil may still retain some residual color and unwanted compounds. To enhance its appearance and remove these impurities, the oil is treated with bleaching agents such as activated clay or activated carbon. This process effectively eliminates remaining pigments and contaminants.
Deodorizing : Crude palm oil often has a strong odor and taste that may be undesirable for certain applications. Deodorization involves heating the oil under vacuum conditions to remove these odors and flavors. This step is crucial for producing a neutral-tasting, odorless oil suitable for a wide range of culinary and industrial uses.
Palm oil is a versatile vegetable oil widely used across various industries. Key applications include:
Palm oil is commonly used for frying, sautéing, and as an ingredient in many food products. Its high smoke point makes it ideal for deep frying.
It is an essential ingredient in baked goods, margarine, snack foods, confectionery, processed foods like instant noodles, and non-dairy creamers.
Palm oil and its derivatives are used in soaps, shampoos, lotions, and lipsticks for their emollient and moisturizing properties.
Palm oil can be converted into biodiesel, serving as a renewable and eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuels for vehicles and industrial applications.
Palm oil is utilized in the manufacture of candles, lubricants, and industrial coatings.
Byproducts like palm kernel meal and palm kernel expeller are valuable ingredients in livestock and poultry feed.
Derivatives of palm oil are key components in surfactants used in detergents, soaps, and cleaning products.
Palm stearin, a palm oil derivative, is used to enhance burn time and stability in candle production.
