Palm Fractionated Palm And Canola Oils

Palm fractionated palm and canola oils are a blend of oils derived from palm fruit and the seeds of the canola plant. The palm oil component is fractionated, a process that separates the oil into liquid and solid parts based on their melting points. This creates a specific fat composition for use in food products.

This blend is used as a fat source in baked goods like cakes and cupcakes. It can provide a desirable texture and mouthfeel, and its specific melting properties make it useful for creating stable batters and fillings.

Palm fractionated palm and canola oils are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. Like other fats, they contribute calories and saturated and unsaturated fatty acids to the diet. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) have evaluated fats and oils, but specific evaluations for this precise blend may vary. Concerns about saturated fat intake are often raised in dietary guidelines.
