Palm oil most popular shortening in bakery industry

Palm oil has replaced all types of vegetable oils in bakery manufacturing . Palm oil is imported from
countries like Malaysia , Indonesia or Philippines . Cost is the biggest factor as palm oil cost is
cheaper than HVO ( Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil ) .Palm oil is also good for health as conc. of
saturated fat is low in respect to others .
Palm oil is obtained from fleshy layer of palm fruit without solvents or chemical . By treatment with
steam followed by pressing . The pressed oil is called crude palm oil . This palm oil is further refined
using steam , vacuum and clay to remove color and odour .


Palm oil following charateristics makes it favorite shortening.


It has got natural anti oxidant s called tocotrienols which helps in protecting body against ill effects of
oxidation.

It desnot have transfat ie zero trans fat . Its composed of palmilic acid and oleic acid .

Palm oil is naturally semi solid at room temperature ( melting point is 39 deg c ) which makes it an
excellent shortening for food application . Palmilic acid imparts creamy texture to the shortening which
is important for baked products.

Many combinations can be made out of fractions of palm oil . These fraction are obtained during the
process of fractionation. Fractionation is a process to melt the palm oil and the cool it get crystal of fat
along with the liquid , these crystal can then be blended to form different types of shortening .

Palm oil naturally resists oxidation and hence provide longer shelf life to the baked products . Shelf
life and frying stability characteristics of palm oil are comparable to partially hydrogenated vegetable
oil.





Both forms of palm oil RBD ( Refined , bleached and Deodorised )-Palmolein and RPKO ( Refined
Palm kernel oil ) are used in baked goods
