About Fractionated palm shortening

Fractionated palm shortening is a shortening made using one or more fractions of palm oil. The record identifies the fat source and processing category but does not specify the fractions, any blend, or the product’s formulation.

It is used as a food fat ingredient and is generally designed to have a workable, semi-solid or solid consistency. Texture and melting behaviour differ among products and uses; the name does not establish a particular baked good, confection, or recipe.
