RBD Palm Stearin is a by-product obtained by fractionating Refined Palm Oil. It is a white solid at room temperature, which melts into a clear yellow liquid when heated. This more solid fraction is separated through controlled crystallization of palm oil.
RBD Palm Stearin is primarily used in the production of margarine, shortenings, and vegetable ghee. It is also valuable for creating specialty fats used in confectionery coatings.
As a fully natural hard fat, Palm Stearin serves as a key ingredient in products like shortenings, margarine, and vanaspati.
Additionally, it is an excellent raw material for soap making and acts as a cost-effective alternative to tallow in soap manufacturing, animal feed, and oleochemical applications.
RBD Palm Stearin is derived 100% from vegetable-based palm oil.
RBD Palm Stearin is from 100% Natural Tropical Vegetable Palm Oil Origin from Malaysia and Kosher Certified.

RBD Palm Stearin (Refined, Bleached, and Deodorized Palm Stearin) is a type of vegetable fat derived from palm oil. It is produced through a refining process designed to remove impurities, color, and odor from crude palm oil.
Refining Process : The production of RBD Palm Stearin involves several steps, including bleaching and deodorization, to yield a stable, clean, and odorless product. These processes enhance its quality and make it suitable for various applications.
Composition : RBD Palm Stearin is a semi-solid fat at room temperature, with a high melting point. It is primarily composed of saturated fatty acids, particularly stearic and oleic acids. Its solid consistency and stability make it ideal for use in the food industry (e.g., margarine, shortenings, and vegetable ghee) as well as in industrial applications like soap making and oleochemicals.
RBD Palm Stearin is widely used in the production of margarine, shortening, bakery products, confectionery, and frying fats. Its high melting point makes it ideal for applications requiring a stable solid fat, such as in pastry crusts, cookies, and other baked goods.
RBD Palm Stearin also finds use in various industrial applications, including the manufacturing of candles, soaps, and cosmetics. Additionally, it is used as a component in industrial lubricants and coatings due to its stability and high melting point.
In the cosmetics and personal care sector, palm stearin is utilized in products such as soaps, lotions, and creams. It functions as an emollient and helps provide a smooth, creamy texture to formulations.
