RBD Palm Olein

RBD (refined, bleached, deodorized) palm olein undergoes physical refining for food-grade use in salad oils. It is an 'other' fraction under HTS 1511.90.00.00, as deodorization here is physical, not chemical modification.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Certify RBD process as steam stripping (physical); include peroxide value tests

• Watch for over-deodorization leading to fatty acid scrutiny

Refined Palm Olein

Refined palm olein is the liquid fraction obtained from palm oil fractionation, used primarily in cooking oils and margarine production. It falls under HTS 1511.90.00.00 as a refined fraction of palm oil that is not chemically modified. This classification applies to other palm oil fractions beyond crude or chemically altered forms.

Palm Stearin

Palm stearin is the solid fraction separated from palm oil through fractionation, commonly used in shortenings, confectionery fats, and soap bases. Classified under HTS 1511.90.00.00 as a non-chemically modified fraction of palm oil, distinct from crude or fully refined whole oil.

Neutralized Palm Oil Fraction

A neutralized fraction of palm oil, processed to remove free fatty acids but not chemically modified, used in edible fat blends. It is classified in HTS 1511.90.00.00 as 'other' palm oil fractions, excluding crude or chemically altered products.

Bleached Palm Mid-Fraction

Bleached palm mid-fraction is an intermediate palm oil fraction treated physically to remove color impurities, used in chocolate spreads and bakery fats. Falls under HTS 1511.90.00.00 for refined, non-chemically modified palm fractions.

Palm Oil Super Olein

Super olein is a highly liquid fraction from double-fractionated palm oil, ideal for clear frying oils and spray oils. Classified under HTS 1511.90.00.00 as other non-chemically modified palm oil fractions.

Palm Fatty Fraction for Confectionery

A specialized palm stearin fraction tailored for chocolate and confectionery coatings due to its sharp melting profile. Classified in HTS 1511.90.00.00 as other refined palm fractions without chemical change.
