Product Characteristics: High-Acid Palm Oil

High-acid palm oil is a 16-carbon monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) where the double bond is located on the 7th carbon atom of the carbon end (16:1n-7).

• Density: 0.905 g/mL at 25°C / 4°C
• Melting Point: 0.5~1°C
• Solubility: Hardly soluble in water; easily soluble in alkali solutions and organic solutions such as ether, chloroform, n-hexane, ethyl acetate, etc.
• Physical Appearance: A colorless and transparent liquid at room temperature.

Market Dynamics

Manufacturing Processes

The core of the preparation process involves the precise control and transformation of raw materials with high acid value.

• Raw Material Sourcing: Primarily derived from overripe or damaged palm fruits, where high lipase activity increases the content of free fatty acids.
• Production Steps:
• Sterilization: Palm fruit strings must be timely sterilized at high temperatures to inactivate lipase and inhibit further increases in acid value.
• Extraction: Crude oil is obtained through fruit removal and pressing.
• Refining: The crude oil undergoes degumming and deacidification.
• Deacidification: This is the critical step, utilizing physical or chemical methods to reduce free fatty acid content to meet applicable standards.

Market Trends and Drivers

• Consumption Demand: Maintains stable demand within the food manufacturing industry, chemical industry, and biofuels due to significant price advantages.
• Growth Trends: Both the global and Chinese markets exhibit a steady growth trend.
• Primary Growth Drivers:
• Rapidly increasing demand in the biofuel sector.
• Continuous improvements in refining technology, expanding the application scope of high-acid palm oil.
• Industrial chain integration and sustainable development requirements, which are profoundly influencing industry patterns.
