What it is
Hydrogenated palm stearin is a type of fat derived from palm oil. It is made by a process called hydrogenation, which makes the oil more solid and stable. This process alters the fatty acid structure of the palm oil.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use hydrogenated palm stearin as a fat source in baked goods, confectionery, and processed foods. It helps improve texture, stability, and shelf life by preventing oil separation and providing a solid structure at room temperature.
Health notes
Hydrogenated palm stearin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a saturated fat, and diets high in saturated fat can raise LDL ('bad') cholesterol levels. JECFA has evaluated fats and oils, and EFSA has evaluated palm oil and its derivatives. Evidence regarding the health effects of saturated fats is complex and ongoing.
Allergen info
Hydrogenated palm stearin is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
