Description

Oils, Palm Kernel, Oleins, Hydrogenated is a specialized, semi-solid to solid fat derived from the hydrogenation of the liquid olein fraction of palm kernel oil. This process enhances its oxidative stability and melting profile, making it a valuable, consistent, and functional ingredient for demanding industrial applications. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the food, personal care, and oleochemical industries who require a stable, high-quality fat with specific textural and melting properties.

Application

• Food Industry: Used as a structuring fat, coating fat, and cocoa butter equivalent (CBE) in confectionery, bakery fillings, and dairy analogs.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Serves as an excellent emollient and occlusive agent in creams, lotions, lipsticks, and soap bars, providing smooth texture and stability.
• Pharmaceuticals: Employed as a suppository base and as an excipient in topical ointments and creams due to its controlled melting point and compatibility.
• Oleochemical Intermediate: A key raw material for the production of fatty acids, fatty alcohols, and other derivatives used in surfactants and lubricants.
• Technical Applications: Functions as a mold release agent, a component in grease formulations, and a processing aid in various manufacturing processes.
