Palm Stearin is the solid fraction obtained from refined palm oil through a fractionation process.
During fractionation, palm oil is separated into liquid palm olein and solid palm stearin. Compared with palm olein, Palm Stearin has a higher melting point and a firmer fat structure.
These characteristics make Palm Stearin a practical vegetable fat ingredient for manufacturers that need controlled solid fat performance in industrial production.

Key Product Features
Controlled Solid Fat Properties
Delivers the exact firmness, crystal stability, and melting profile required to maintain final product shape and texture under varying temperatures.
High Oxidative Stability
Naturally rich in saturated fatty acids, it offers superior resistance to oxidation and rancidity during high-temperature processing and extended shelf storage.
Neutral Taste and Odor
Fully refined, bleached, and deodorized to ensure a clean flavor profile. It blends seamlessly with other oils and fats without altering the sensory characteristics of the finished product.
Flexible Formulation Performance
Functions as a versatile blending fat. Manufacturers can easily adjust the slip melting point and solid fat content to match specific climate zones or processing environments.
Core Applications
Margarine Production: Provides the crystalline network required for table, puff pastry, and industrial margarines.
Shortening Manufacturing: Forms the structural base for bakery, cookie, pastry, and frying shortenings.
Bakery Fat Formulations: Delivers texturizing properties for biscuits, cookies, cakes, and laminated doughs.
Confectionery Fat Systems: Functions as a base component for compound coatings, fat-based fillings, and specialized confectionery blends.
Storage & Handling Recommendations
Store in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Maintain proper ambient temperatures to prevent premature melting or oil separation.
Keep packaging tightly sealed until use to protect against environmental contamination and flavor absorption.
Grades & Customization Options
We collaborate directly with your R&D and Quality Assurance teams to tailor physical properties for seamless integration into your existing production setups.
Melting Point Customization:
Standard Melting Grade (44°C - 48°C): Ideal for general bakery fats, all-purpose shortening, and standard margarine lines.
Higher Melting Grade (48°C - 56°C): Formulated for tropical climates, puff pastry fats requiring extreme lamination stability, and high-firmness industrial applications.
SFC Profile Adjustment: We calibrate the Solid Fat Content curve to achieve the exact plasticity, hardness, and melting behavior your formula demands.
Packaging Customization: Tailored to fit your factory receipt systems, from heavy industrial bulk to standardized palletized units.
