Refined Bleached Deodorized Palm Oil (RBDPO)

RBDPO (Refined Bleached Deodorized Palm Oil) is the main product of Refinery Process. Physical refining removes smells and coloration to produce edible oil. It is seen as mixture of solid and liquid form of fat in room temperature. RBDPO can directly use as edible oil or becoming raw material in the manufacture of soaps, washing powder and other products. It is known that RBDPO can be used to produce Biodiesel.

Refined Bleached Deodorized Palm Olein (RBDPL)

RBDPL (Refined Bleached Deodorized Palm Olein) from separating liquid part and solid part of RBDPO after crystallization trough process called Fractionation. RBDP Olein is fully liquid at ambient temperature in warm climates. This clear golden in color liquid is tasteless and odorless. RBDP Olein widely used as cooking oil mainly for frying either for deep or shallow frying. The high stability of the oil makes it exceptionally suitable for frying purposes.

Refined Bleached Deodorized Palm Stearin (RBDPS)

RBDPS (Refined Bleached Deodorized Palm Stearin) is the solid part that obtained through the fractionation. RBDP Stearin is use for making trans-free fats that mainly consume as margarine and shortening. Besides edible usage, palm stearin also possesses suitable properties for making soaps and formulating animal feeds. It is also an excellent feed stock for oleochemicals.

Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD)

PFAD (Palm Fatty Acid Distillate) is a by-product of physical CPO distillation or industrially known as Refinery. It namely after degumming, deacidification, and vacuum drying stages. The largest components in PFAD are free fatty acids, carotenoid components, and other volatile compounds. PFAD is used as animal feed and laundry soap industries. It also enters oleochemicals industry as its raw material. Squalene, Vitamin E, Phytosterols are value-added products which could be extracted from PFAD and have potential value for cosmetic industries.

Crude Palm Kernel Oil (CPKO)

CPKO (Crude Palm Kernel Oil) is obtained from the kernel of the oil palm fruit. Its composition and properties differ significantly from palm oil. CPKO is produced by mechanical extraction of the kernels which are pre-dried in palm oil mills through a partial vacuum process. The quality of the oil is excellent, with free fatty acids of the crude oil generally below 2%. It is light yellow in colour and is refined physically to produce a very light coloured oil used for both edible and inedible purposes. The oil is also semi-solid at ambient temperatures.

Palm Kernel Expeller (PKE)

PKE (Palm Kernel Expeller) is a by-product of the crushing and expelling of oil from Palm Kernel. It is widely use as animal feed because PKE containing high levels of crude protein.
