Refined, Bleached, Deodorised Palm Oil (RBDPO) is used in the manufacturing of food products. RBDPO is fractionated further to produce palm olein as cooking oil, or processed into other products.
Palm Olein is the liquid oil for frying and cooking applications, and is blended with other oils to improve their stability/shelf life and to minimize smoke formation during high-temperature frying applications.
Palm Stearin is utilized for high temperature industrial frying applications such as in the production of instant noodles. Palm Stearin is free of trans fatty acids, and is used as a replacement for hydrogenated oils such as soya bean and Canola. Palm Stearin may also be utilized in non-edible applications such as in the manufacturing of soaps and candles.
Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD) is a by-product derived from the refining of crude palm oil. It is used for many industries such as soap industries, animal food industries and is also used as raw materials for bio-diesel and chemical industries.
The crushing of palm kernels produces Crude Palm Kernel Oil (CPKO) and Palm Kernel Expeller (PKE). It is very similar to coconut oil in that it has a high percentage of lauric acid which allows it to produce hard soaps with good lather. Palm Kernel Oil is therefore a cost-effective substitute for Crude Coconut Oil in the production of quality soaps. Palm Kernel Oil is part of a group of Lauric Oils, which is largely used by the oleochemical industry for the production of cleaning agents and detergents.
Palm Kernel Expeller (PKE) is a by-product from crushing of palm kernels by mechanical means. Palm Kernel Expeller is a good source of protein and fat (for energy). Palm Kernel Expeller can be included in the diets of beef cattle, dairy cows, sheep, poultry and other domesticated animals.
Biodiesel (B100) is the ‘drop in fuel’ produced from oil palm. It is used as a direct replacement for existing mineral/fossil diesels and is an environmentally friendly diesel fuel, which can power existing diesel engines. Biodiesel is a much cleaner fuel than fossil diesel, producing far lower level of pollutants. In the last decade there has been a determined political effort to identify and develop suitable fuels for society’s future needs.
Crude Glycerine is a by-product of the production of biodiesel via transesterification. It is a sweet-tasting, non-toxic, odourless, viscous liquid that is widely used in food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics formulations.
Distilled Palm Methyl Ester (DPME) is produced from Biodiesel (B100) through distillation process, which posses higher FAME content. DPME has lower monoglycerides (MG), diglycerides (DG) and triglcyerides (TG). It is used as a direct replacement for existing mineral/fossil diesels and is an environmentally friendly diesel fuel, which can power existing diesel engines.
Neutralized Palm Oil (NPO) is processed through a chemical refining process by neutralizing the free fatty acid in the crude palm oil. NPO preserves the precious nutrients in the palm oil. It can be further processed into food, active pharmaceutical ingredients or non-food products through different processes.

Tocotrienols are mostly found in palm fruit oils and they are a good natural source of Vitamin E. Each of the tocotrienols isomers [alpha, beta, gamma and delta-tocotrienols] has their own benefits associated with brain health, lowering cholesterol, and has anti-cancer properties.
Carotene is a rich source of natural pro-Vitamin A that can be converted into Vitamin A which is essential for eye health. The Carotenes are also powerful anti-oxidant, which protect the body from harmful free radicals. The pro-Vitamin A and antioxidant properties are important benefits in nutraceutical formulation. Carotene is also used as natural food and cosmestic colorant.
