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.
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.
