What it is

Palm oil is a vegetable oil derived from the fruit of oil palm trees. It is a semi-solid at room temperature and is widely used in cooking and food manufacturing due to its texture and stability. Soya lecithin is an emulsifier often added to palm oil to improve its texture and prevent separation.

Why it's used

Palm oil with soya lecithin is used as a fat source and emulsifier in baked goods. It helps create a desirable texture, moisture, and shelf life in products like cakes, cookies, and pastries. It is also used in processed foods such as pizza dough and snack cakes.

Health notes

Palm oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Soya lecithin is also GRAS. While palm oil is high in saturated fat, dietary guidelines suggest limiting saturated fat intake. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated palm oil and its components. Research on the health effects of palm oil consumption is ongoing, with some studies suggesting potential benefits and others raising concerns, particularly regarding its saturated fat content.

Allergen info

Soya lecithin is derived from soy, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Palm oil itself is not a major allergen.
