FAQ

  • QWhy is palm oil used in margarines & shortenings?
    APalm oil is very suitable as a major component in margarines and shortenings because it is naturally semi-solid and it can be further modified by fractionation, interesterification, hydrogenation and blending. It is high in palmitic acid (44%) and crystallizes in the β'?form which is desirable in margarines and shortenings.
  • QIs palm oil good for shortenings?
    AIt is high in palmitic acid (44%) and crystallizes in the β'?form which is desirable in margarines and shortenings. It contains 10% essential fatty acids (linoleic acid). The roles and the applications of palm oil and palm products in various types of shortenings and margarines are discussed.
  • QHow can I know how my order is being done?
    AWe will inspect and test all items in order to avoid damage and missing parts before shipping. The detailed inspection pictures of the order will be sent to you for your confirmation before delivery.

    AOil palm expansion, or extensification, in Cameroon refers to the growth of oil palm production since 1985, as shown in figure a. The figure highlights the time-period considered in the study (2000–2015) in gray.
  • QDo palm based shortenings require hydrogenation?
    APalmbased shorteningsdo not require hydrogenation due to the natural state of the palm oil that contains a high degree of shorter-chain saturated fatty acids, which incorporates the liquid components into the crystal network, thereby providing the shortening structure and texture .
  • QCan palm oil be produced (milled) in Cameroon?
    AIn Cameroon, there is palm oil milling carried out on a small scale (artisanal). [Reference: Afr. J. Agric. Res. 9, 1586–1596 (2014)]
