2025-06-18 HUATAI

1. Super high production efficiency

Oil palm is the most efficient oil-producing plant in the world. It can bear fruit all year round. One hectare of land can produce an average of 3-3.5 tons of palm oil and 0.8 tons of palm kernel oil per year. Its unit oil yield is 5-6 times that of soybeans and 3-4 times that of rapeseed.

2. Unique physical properties

Variable melting point: The melting point of palm oil is usually between 33℃ and 39℃, while the freezing point is between 20℃ and 24℃.

Strong stability: Palm oil contains 50% saturated fatty acids, is not easy to oxidize and deteriorate, has a higher smoke point, and is more suitable for high-temperature cooking during food processing.

3. Widely used in many fields

Catering industry: Palm oil is not easy to deteriorate and can keep the refreshing taste of oil for a long time. Many fast food restaurants and food processing plants use palm oil to fry French fries, chicken nuggets and other foods.

Food industry: 

Palm oil’s high solid fat content can make food have a good taste and a long shelf life, so it is widely used in the production of processed foods such as biscuits, chocolate, candy and potato chips. Because of its good plasticity and good taste, palm oil is also an important raw material for making margarine and a common raw material in the baking industry.

Other industrial uses: In the oil and fat industry, palm oil can be used to produce biodiesel and bioethanol, and is also used to manufacture lubricants required for various mechanical equipment; in the detergent industry and cosmetics, palm oil can also be used to produce soaps, detergents, shampoos, creams, lipsticks and other products because of its good cleaning ability and foaming properties; in the pharmaceutical industry, palm oil can be used in the production of some ointments and capsules, and its stability and lubricity make it an ideal pharmaceutical excipient.

Fractionation processing technology: Fractionation processing technology is the key to palm oil’s adaptation to various food processing needs. It can change the ratio of solid fat to liquid fat in palm oil, thereby obtaining products with different melting points.
