  • Why is palm oil used in margarines & shortenings?
  • Palm oil is very suitable as a major component in margarines and shortenings because it is naturally semi-solid and it can be further modified by fractionation, interesterification, hydrogenation and blending. It is high in palmitic acid (44%) and crystallizes in the ¦Â'form which is desirable in margarines and shortenings.
  • How much palm oil is in a margarine?
  • At this temperature, palm oil has 23% solids. Typically, table margarines can be formulated with up to 50% palm oil, with an average of 25%, and when the oil is submitted to interesterification, up to 80% can be used since it promotes physical properties of fats that allow application in margarines.
  • Can palm oil be used in margarines?
  • Its naturally semisolid characteristic at room temperature, ¦Â' form crystallization, and the ability to be modified by fractionation, interesterification, hydrogenation, and mixing make palm oil an ideal fat for application in margarines ( Ribeiro et al., 2015 ).
  • What type of oil is processed in our refinery?
  • Our refinery is a state-of-the-art multicomponent and, multiprocessing facility that processes both seed oils (Canola, Sunflower and Linseed) and tropical oils (palm oil and palm oil derivatives; palm kernel oil and palm kernel oil derivatives; and Coconut oil).
