Palm fruit (-->palm oil)
Palm kernel (--> palm kernel oil)
- 44-65% oil
- MP 30°C – 37°C
- Mainly 2 fatty acids, palmitic and oleic acids
- deeply orage-red (carotene)
Palm kernel (--> palm kernel oil)
- 30-60% oil
- MP 20°C – 24°C
What can you say about the folowing points in palm fruit oil?
- lipase activity
- colour
- fractions
- products used in
- High lipase activity during harvesting and processing: always higher in free fatty acids (ffa) than other oils
- Coloured deep orange-red by the large amount of carotene (β-carotene: 0.05-0.20%)
- Often fractionated into two fractions: olein and stearin
- Used for shortenings, margarine, spreads, deep frying oil

in palm olein they got some fat crystals out.
So less saturated fatty acids.
