Palm Stearin

PFAD4 Palm stearin is the solid fraction of palm oil that is produced by partial crystallization at controlled temperature.[1] It is a stearin in the sense of stearins and oleins being the solid and liquid fractions respectively of fats and oils; not in the sense of glyceryl tristearate.

Palm stearin consists of mostly glyceryl tripalmitate, with most of the rest of the fat content being glyceryl dipalmitate monooleate.[3] In terms of fatty acid composition, a typical soft palm stearin might contain almost 50% palmitic acid and 35% oleic acid.[2]p. 31.

Products Features

Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD) is a by-product obtained from the physical refining of crude palm oil products. It is widely used in various industries due to its unique properties. Here are some features of PFAD:

• Solid at Room Temperature
• High Saturated Fatty Acid Content
• Slip Melting Point (SMP)
• Fatty Acid Composition
• Versatile Applications
• Versatility in Blending
