Palmstearin

Palmstearin

Palmstearin is obtained from the flesh of the oil palm (Elaeis), which belongs to the palm tree Family (Arecaceae). Physical fractioning and subsequent filtration separate refined Palm Oil into an olein and a stearin phase. Although originally native to Africa, the oil palm is now mainly grown in Indonesia and Malaysia.
