Description

Palm oil is extracted from the mesocarp of the fruit of an oil palm species called Elaeis guineensis. In Malaysia, the high yielding tenera, which is a cross between dura and pisifera species, is the most commonly cultivated palm tree. There are two main products of the palm oil industry � palm oil and palm kernel oil. Out of these, many products could be derived such as crude palm oil which is normally processed by a physical refining process in which the oil is turned into a golden yellow refined oil for further end use applications.
