What it is

Palm fractions are derived from palm oil. Palm oil is extracted from the fruit of oil palms. The oil is then physically separated into different fractions based on melting point, creating fractions with varying properties.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use palm fractions for their functional properties, such as improving texture, providing stability, and acting as a fat source in baked goods and confectionery. They are commonly found in cookies, pastries, and frozen desserts.

Health notes

Palm fractions are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Like other fats, they are calorie-dense. JECFA has evaluated palm oil and its fractions, establishing acceptable intake levels. Some research suggests diets high in saturated fats, like those found in palm oil, may impact cholesterol levels, but evidence is mixed and depends on the overall diet.

Allergen info

Palm fractions are not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
