Palm oil is vegetable oil extracted from the flesh of oil palm. The palm seeds oil is called palm kernel oil.

Chemical properties and derivatives

Palm oil is orange-red, has odor and taste typical for oil palm nut, semisolid, melting temperature 33–39°C. Due to the fact that palm oil is a complex mixture of fractions with different physical and chemical properties, its melting temperature is defined by the so-called Slip Melting Point (SMP).

Palm oil, as well as all other vegetable oils or fats is a mixture of triacyglycerides (TAG) (glyceryl fatty acid esters). Due to the fact that each triacyglyceride possesses its own physical and chemical properties and melting temperature, the so-called fractions are formed. There are two main fractions in palm oil: olein is a liquid palm oil fraction with melting temperature of 19–24°C and stearine is a solid palm oil fraction with melting temperature of 47–54°C. Besides olein and stearine, other palm oil fractions exist, e.g. superolein or double fractionation olein (melting temperature 13–17°C), mean fraction — 32–38°C.
