Palm oil

Description:
Palm oil, with the CAS number 8002-75-3, is a versatile vegetable oil derived from the fruit of the oil palm tree, primarily Elaeis guineensis. It is characterized by its semi-solid state at room temperature, which is attributed to its unique fatty acid composition, predominantly consisting of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. The oil is rich in palmitic acid, oleic acid, and linoleic acid, contributing to its stability and shelf life. Palm oil is known for its bright orange-red color due to the presence of carotenoids, particularly beta-carotene. It has a relatively high smoke point, making it suitable for various cooking methods, including frying and baking. Additionally, palm oil is widely used in the food industry, cosmetics, and biofuels due to its emulsifying properties and ability to enhance texture. However, its production has raised environmental concerns related to deforestation and habitat destruction, prompting discussions about sustainable sourcing practices. Overall, palm oil is a significant agricultural commodity with diverse applications and implications.
