What are palm based oleochemicals?

Palm-based oleochemicals are produced from refined palm oil, palm stearin that has been produced from fractionated palm oil, refined palm kernel oil, crude palm kernel oil, and palm fatty acid distillate. There are five basic oleochemicals: fatty acids, fatty alcohols, fatty methyl ester, fatty amines, and glycerine.

Why is palm kernel oil better than crude oil?

Due to high acidity and relatively low phosphatide content, palm and palm kernel oil are generally physically refined, which is preferred to the chemical process. The quality of the crude oils has to be considered as it can greatly affect the efficiency of the refining process.

What is chemical refining of palm oil?

When starting with very good quality crude palm oil (low FFA and high DOBI), chemical refining is able to purify the oil so effectively that the bleaching step can be skipped or performed with very small amounts of non-activated bleaching earths or with silica.
