  • 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.
  • Why is palm oil important?
  • Palm oil and palm products have become important raw materials in the production of solid-fat formulations such as shortenings and margarines in view of the current trends. 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¡­
  • Is palm oil good for shortenings?
  • It is high in palmitic acid (44%) and crystallizes in the ¦Â'form which is desirable in margarines and shortenings. It contains 10% essential fatty acids (linoleic acid). The roles and the applications of palm oil and palm products in various types of shortenings and margarines are discussed.
  • Do palm based shortenings require hydrogenation?
  • Palmbased shorteningsdo not require hydrogenation due to the natural state of the palm oil that contains a high degree of shorter-chain saturated fatty acids, which incorporates the liquid components into the crystal network, thereby providing the shortening structure and texture .
