In Asia and parts of Africa in particular, palm oil is used as an edible oil for cooking, frying and deep-frying thanks to its excellent heat and oxidation stability. It also plays a major role internationally in the production of baked goods, margarine and confectionery. Palm oil and its derivatives play an important role in various formulations for the cosmetics industry and detergent production. In the technical field, it is the basis for the production of numerous oleochemical products, which are used, for example, in lubricants or candles.
