Oil palm stearin
Diffination
Palm stearin is the solid fraction of palm oil that is produced by partial crystallization at controlled temperature.
It is more variable in composition than palm olein, the liquid fraction of palm oil, especially in terms of its solid fat content, and therefore has more variable physical characteristics. Like crude palm fruit oil, palm stearin contains carotenoids, but physically refined palm oils do not, as they are removed or destroyed in the refining process
