Vegetable oil

Characteristics

PUR oil is a refined, bleached, and deodorized edible palm oil, fractionated to obtain a liquid oil suitable for cooking and frying. It offers high thermal and oxidative stability, a light color, and a neutral taste.

Typical Specifications:

Free Fatty Acids (FFA): ≤ 0.1% (as palmitic acid)

Moisture & Impurities: ≤ 0.1%

Iodine Value (IV): ~56–60 (indicator of unsaturation)

Cloud Point: ≤ 8°C

Slip Melting Point: ≤ 24°C

Color (Lovibond): ≤ 3 R (maximum)
🧪 Composition

CP8 oil is primarily composed of naturally occurring fatty acid triglycerides, typical of fractionated palm oils:

Source: Refined palm olein oil (100% palm oil)

Lipid composition (generally): Palmitic, oleic, linoleic (natural to palm oil) — providing a good balance between stability and cooking performance.

> Note: The CP8 fraction has a cloud point of approximately 8°C, meaning the oil remains liquid longer than other fractions with lower or higher cloud points — a useful criterion for different climate zones.
🧊 Storage Conditions

To store CP8 oil in optimal conditions:
* Store in a cool, dry place away from light.

* Avoid exposure to heat and direct light to prevent oxidation.

* Close tightly after opening to preserve quality.

* Typical shelf life: up to 12 months when stored correctly.
