Palm Oil
Palm Oil contains an equal proportion of unsaturated acids, containing about 40% oleic acids (monounsaturated), 44% palmitic acids and oleic acids, which are also the major fatty acids produced by the body. A natural source of Vitamin E, the tocopherols and tocotrienols, Palm Oil is also a very rich source of beta-carotene which is an important source of Vitamin A.
Palm Oil is frequently confused with Palm Kernel Oil. Palm Oil is physically and chemically different from either Palm Kernel Oil or Coconut Oil and, therefore, should not be considered similar to these oils. Palm Oil also contains a much higher proportion of palmitic acids than other fats and oils. Palm Kernel Oil is highly saturated. In contrast, Palm Oil contains a balance of polyunsaturated, monounsaturated, and saturated fatty acids. In addition, Palm Oil contains essential substances such as linoleic acid (an essential fatty acid which the body cannot manufacture) as well as tocopherols and tocotrienols which act as natural anti-oxidants against damaging free-radicals.
Like other vegetable fats, Palm Oil is free from cholesterol. Because Palm Oil is solid at room temperature there is no need to use hydrogenation, a technique which hardens liquid oil but also produces damaging trans fatty acids and raises cholesterol levels in the process. Human feeding studies have shown that Palm Oil does not ordinarily raise blood cholesterol levels and in some cases has been found to lower harmful LDL-cholesterol.
Palm Oil is extracted and refined through pressing and crushing, not by the use of chemical solvents such as hexane. Palm Oil can be further refined into palm olein (liquid) and palm stearine (solid). Palm olein is used as a frying oil because it is very stable to heat. Palm stearine is used in biscuits and cakes. Palm stearine is also used in non-hydrogenated margarine and to stop peanut butter from separating.
Palm Oil resists oxidation and rancidity, which means that a product made using Palm Oil has an extended shelf life.
When used in combination with other oils such as coconut and olive oil, Palm Oil makes a nice hard bar. It is less water soluble and resists melting; it saponifies easily and pulls other oils into saponification quicker. It is also known as vegetable tallow and adds firmness to bar soaps, giving a pale white-yellow color. Palm Oil will speed up the soap making process.
