Palm Oil - The Natural Choice

Eighty per cent of Malaysia's palm oil production is used in the food sector. Palm 0il is a very versatile oil with a range of distinctive properties, enabling it to meet most of the technological requirements for formulating fat-based products. By fractionating palm oil, its uses are further increased. Hydrogenation and interesterification increase its usage even further especially in the making specialised and sophisticated edible products.
Malaysian palm oil is most suitable for the manufacture of margarine. It is also a great frying oil for convenience or snack foods such as french fries or potato chips, instant noodles and doughnuts. Malaysian palm oil in combination with some palm stearin can also be used as shortening of excellent quality. Palm oil shortening has been found very suitable for making bread, cakes, pastries, cream and sweets and confectionery. Vanaspati is another product for which palm oil can be used to a very great extent. Another specialty use of palm oil is in ice cream. It is satisfactorily used as a cocoa butter substitute(CBS).
