What is the importance of palm oil refining?

Palm oil is one of the world’s most versatile and widely used vegetable oils, found in food, cosmetics, biofuels, and more. However, crude palm oil (CPO) contains impurities that affect taste, shelf life, and safety. Through the four processes of deacidification, degumming, decolorization and deodorization, palm oil refining can remove most of the impurities in crude palm oil, so as to obtain refined palm oil that is beneficial to people's health. The importance of palm oil refining is as follows, extending the storage time of palm oil, good for health, increasing profits, etc.

1. Removes Harmful Impurities

Crude palm oil contains:

- Free fatty acids (FFA) – Cause rancidity and bad odor.

- Phospholipids & gums – Lead to cloudiness and instability.

- Pigments & oxidation products – Affect color and consumer appeal.

Our Solution: Henan Glory Oil ＆Fats company’s refining systems use advanced degumming, bleaching, and deodorization to eliminate 99% of impurities, meeting international food safety standards (ISO, FDA, EU).

2. Improves Shelf Life & Stability

Unrefined palm oil spoils quickly due to oxidation. Proper refining: - Reduces moisture & volatile compounds – Preventing microbial growth. - Neutralizes FFA – Extending shelf life up to 12-18 months. 

Our Innovation: Our nitrogen-sealed deodorizers minimize oxidation, ensuring long-lasting freshness.

- Bright, golden color – Preferred by food & cosmetic industries.

Your Profit Advantage: Refined palm oil sells at 20-30% higher prices than CPO, maximizing ROI .

4. Meets Global Industry Standards

Many countries mandate refined palm oil for:

- Food processing (no toxic contaminants).

- Biodiesel production (low FFA & moisture).

Our Compliance: Our systems produce RBD (Refined, Bleached, Deodorized) palm oil compliant with WHO, Codex Alimentarius, and Halal/Kosher certifications.
