Palm kernel oil
Edible plant oil
Not to be confused with Palm oil or Coconut oil.
Palm kernel oil is an edible plant oil derived from the kernel of the oil palm tree Elaeis guineensis.[1] It is related to two other edible oils: palm oil, extracted from the fruit pulp of the oil palm, and coconut oil, extracted from the kernel of the coconut.[2]
Palm kernel oil, palm oil, and coconut oil are three of the few highly saturated vegetable fats; these oils give the name to the carbon saturated fatty acidpalmitic acid that they contain.
Palm kernel oil, which is semi-solid at room temperature, is more saturated than palm oil and comparable to coconut oil.
History
[edit]See also: Oil palm
Oil from the African oil palm Elaeis guineensis has long been recognized in West African and Central African countries. European merchants trading with West Africa occasionally purchased palm oil for use in Europe, but palm kernel oil remained rare outside West Africa.[3]
The USDA has published historical production figures for palm kernel oil for years beginning October&#;1 and ending September&#;[4]

Palm oil
Edible vegetable oil from the fruit of oil palms
For oil created from the palm kernel, rather than the palm fruit, see Palm kernel oil.
Palm oil is an edible vegetable oil derived from the mesocarp (reddish pulp) of the fruit of oil palms.[1] The oil is used in food manufacturing, in beauty products, and as biofuel. Palm oil accounted for about 36% of global oils produced from oil crops in [2] Palm oils are easier to stabilize and maintain quality of flavor and consistency in ultra-processed foods, so they are frequently favored by food manufacturers.[3] Globally, humans consumed an average of &#;kg (17&#;lb) of palm oil per person in [4] Demand has also increased for other uses, such as cosmetics and biofuels, encouraging the growth of palm oil plantations in tropical countries.
The use of palm oil has attracted the concern of environmental and human rights groups. The palm oil industry is a significant contributor to deforestation in the tropics where palms are grown and has been cited as a factor in social problems due to allegations of human rights violations among growers.[5]
In , a report by the International Union for Conservation of Nature acknowledged that palm oil is much more efficient than other
