Description
Crude Palm Oil is edible oil which is extracted from the pulp of fruit of oil palms. The color of pulp is red. That’s why palm oil is naturally similar to pulp color because of high inactive vitamin A content. It is different from kernel oil or coconut oil. Commonly it is combined or mixed with coconut oil to make highly saturated vegetable fat, which is also used for cooking purposes.
The oil palm produces two types of oils, crude palm oil (CPO) from the fibrous mesomorphs and crude palm kernel oil (CPKO) from the kernels. Although both oils originate from the same fruit, palm oil is chemically and nutritionally different from palm kernel oil. It is one of the only two mesomorphs oils available commercially, the other being olive oil.
The oil palm tree yields two types of oil:
- Oil extracted from the flesh of the fruit (palm oil)
- Oil extracted from the seed or kernel (palm kernel oil)
