About Refined palm oil

Refined palm oil is edible oil from the fruit flesh of the oil palm, processed to reduce colour, odour and flavour. It is used in cooking and in manufactured foods. Depending on temperature and product composition, it may be liquid, semi-solid or solid; its colour is usually much less vivid than that of unrefined palm oil.

Palm oil can be separated into liquid and solid fractions, and refined palm oil should not be confused with palm olein, which is the more liquid fraction. Products may also be blended with other oils. The name identifies a refined oil category but does not specify the product’s fraction, blend, or processing details.
