Food manufacturers require specific palm oil fractions and specifications depending on the end application. Key commercial fractions: RBD Palm Olein (Refined, Bleached, Deodorised Palm Olein) — liquid fraction, iodine value (IV) ≥56 (standard) or IV ≥60 (super olein), used for frying oil, cooking oil blends, and liquid shortening; RBD Palm Stearin — hard fraction (IV ≤48), high melting point (44–56°C), used in margarines, shortenings, pastry fats, soap, and industrial applications; RBD Palm Oil — undivided refined palm oil (semi-solid at ambient temperature, melting point approximately 33–39°C), used directly in bakery fats, industrial margarines, and as a blending stock; Palm Mid Fraction (PMF) — produced by further fractionation, IV approximately 42–47, melt profile similar to cocoa butter, used in confectionery fats (compound coatings, fillings) as a cocoa butter equivalent (CBE) base; and Double Fractionated Palm Stearin (DFPS) / Palm Kernel Oil (PKO) / Palm Kernel Stearin (PKS) for specialist confectionery applications.
