Palm Kernel Oil
Palm Kernel Oil is extracted from the oil palm tree seeds (Elaeis guineensis) through mechanical pressing or solvent extraction. The seeds are taken from the fruit, crushed, and then pressed to release the carrier oil. Palm Kernel Oil is rich in lauric acid and solidifies at room temperature. It is extensively employed in the food industry as it is used for cooking and baking.
It is applied as an ingredient in foods that have been processed to some extent. Industrially, it is extensively used in cosmetics, soaps, and detergents because of its emollient properties. It is employed in biofuels as well as industrial lubrication. As a distributor of carrier oils, the Bulk Cart supplies the highest quality Palm Kernel oil, fulfilling COA, MSDS, and GC-MS standards.
Industrial Uses of Palm Kernel Oil
- Food Industry: Palm Kernel Oil is used in the food industry as a frying and cooking oil because of its high stability at high temperatures. It is also used in processed foods such as margarine, baked goods, and snacks, which add texture, flavor, and shelf life. Its long shelf stability makes it ideal for commercial food production, minimizing spoilage and maintaining freshness.
- Cosmetics: Palm kernel oil is used as the major component in most cosmetic product formulations, especially in creams, lotions, soaps, and moisturizers. Its emollient effects assist in holding moisture within and softening the skin. Due to the high percentage of lauric acid in the carrier oil, it also aids in cleaning and hydrating the skin. The carrier oil is a favorite among the formulation of high-class bath products owing to its smoothness, thus imparting skin conditioning effects.
- Soaps & Detergents: Palm Kernel Oil is used in soap and detergent manufacture because it creates a rich lather. It is highly valued for its cleaning and emulsifying properties, making it suitable for personal care and household cleaning products. The carrier oil's hardening properties of soaps ensure that the bars last longer and enhance the overall texture and performance of detergents.
- Biofuels: Palm Kernel Oil is used in the production of biodiesel, which is a renewable and environment-friendly alternative to fossil fuels. The carrier oil has a high fat content, making it perfect for conversion into biodiesel through transesterification. It is a source of renewable energy that reduces dependence on petroleum and is used in industries for power generation for machinery, vehicles, and even electricity.
- Pharmaceuticals: Palm Kernel Oil serves as a base in the pharmaceutical industry for medicinal creams, ointments, and capsules. It is applied naturally in the production of such goods to ensure smooth application without compromising the efficacy of the active ingredients. Topical formulations for skin healing and moisturizing purposes require a high level of stability, along with a long shelf life, properties that palm kernel oil offers.
- Candle Making: It has been incorporated into candle-making by giving it a smoothness and a burn time as it burns long. With it and palm oil, they create high-quality wax for good burning and minimum soot. The carrier oil also provides a fragrant throw in the air when the candle is on with the aroma effectively diffused. Palm kernel-based candles are usually sold as the 'eco-friendly' option.
