The difference between RBD palm oil and RBD palm olein

RBD palm oil and RBD palm olein belong to different products of palm oil. RBD palm oil is the short for refined bleached deodorized palm oil. Generally, palm oil refinery plant adopt physical refining method, containing three steps refining, bleaching(decolorization) and deodorization. So RBD palm oil is the products of palm oil refinery plant, can be sold on the market, and qualify the standard. And RBD palm olein is obtained after further processing RBD palm oil in palm oil fractionation plant. They may have different states at same temperature.

There are solids seperating out in RBD palm oil under 20℃

Like above picture shows, the RBD palm oil is semi-solid at 20°C. Therefore, the palm oil fractionation plant is used to separate palm oil's the liquid part and the solid part. So the liquid part of palm oil is RBD palm olein, and the solid part is called RBD palm sterin.

RBD palm olein

After fractionation, the RBD palm olein is commonly bottled and sold as cooking oils. And the RBD palm stearin is commonly used to formulate trans-free fats such as margarine, shortening and vegetable ghee.

Sometimes the RBD palm olein is further fractionated to a more liquid fraction called “super palm olein”. This oil fraction could withstand colder temperature than palm olein before they cloud or solidify.

Last but not least, RBD palm olein can be sold with higher price than RBD palm oil. If you want to make more money, you had better buy the palm oil refinery plant and palm oil fractionation plant together. Henan Doing Company can provide you 5-10tpd small scale palm oil refinery and fractionation plant or large scale palm oil refinery and fractionation plant. Our engineers can design for you and help you install and commissioning. You can view our project: 100tpd palm oil refinery and fractionation plant project in Kenya.
