It is related to two other edible oils: palm oil, extracted from the fruit pulp of the oil palm, and coconut oil, extracted from the kernel of the coconut. [2] Palm kernel oil, palm oil, and coconut oil are three of the few highly saturated vegetable fats; these oils give the name to the 16-carbon saturated fatty acid palmitic acid that they ...
Palm oil block showing the lighter color that results from boiling. Palm oil is an edible vegetable oil derived from the mesocarp (reddish pulp) of the fruit of oil palms. [1] The oil is used in food manufacturing, in beauty products, and as biofuel. Palm oil accounted for about 36% of global oils produced from oil crops in 2014. [2]
LCA has been applied to assess the environmental impact of production of oil palm seedlings, [100] oil palm fresh fruit bunches, [101] crude palm oil, [101] crude palm kernel oil [101] and refined palm oil. [102] The assessment on downstream industries such as bio-diesel, [103] was also conducted.
As the price of crude oil rose in the late 1970s, [2] manufacturers switched from petrochemicals to oleochemicals [3] because plant-based lauric oils processed from palm kernel oil were cheaper. Since then, palm kernel oil is predominantly used in the production of laundry detergent and personal care items like toothpaste, soap bars, shower ...
Cooking oil is typically a liquid at room temperature, although some oils that contain saturated fat, such as coconut oil, palm oil and palm kernel oil are solid. [ 1 ] There are a wide variety of cooking oils from plant sources such as olive oil , palm oil , soybean oil , canola oil ( rapeseed oil), corn oil , peanut oil , sesame oil ...
Daily oil consumption by region from 1980 to 2006. This is a list of countries by oil consumption. [1] [2] In 2022, the International Energy Agency (IEA) announced that the total worldwide oil consumption would rise by 2% [3] year over year compared to 2021 despite the COVID-19 pandemic.

The fruit yields two distinct oils: palm oil derived from the outer parts of the fruit, and palm kernel oil derived from the kernel. [1] The pulp left after oil is rendered from the kernel is formed into "palm kernel cake", used either as high-protein feed for dairy cattle or burned in boilers to generate electricity for palm oil mills and ...
Although oil palm plantations and estates occupy over 118,264 hectares, they account for merely 5% of Nigeria's total crude palm oil production. Although palm kernel cake is well-known in West plantations as a useful feed ingredient, it was mostly utilized as a source of fiber and energy in rations for fish, fowl, and pigs until recently.
