Brief overview
Palm Kernel Olein is a fully refined, bleached, and deodorized vegetable oil. It is a lauric-based liquid coating that solidifies quickly on ice cream during dipping. Its high melting point and steep melting profile contribute to non-brittle coatings that do not break when ice cream is eaten. It has an iodine value of 16.2-19.2 and it can be hydrogenated to produce a variety of products of different iodine values.
Manufacturing Process
RBD Palm Kernel Oil is fractionated to obtain RBD palm kernel olein and RBD palm kernel stearin. RBD palm kernel olein is a liquid fraction of RBD palm kernel oil and RBD palm kernel stearin is a solid fraction of palm kernel oil.
