  • What is the difference between stearic acid and palm stearin?
  • Widely utilized in food and non-food sectors, including margarine, candles, and plastic products. In essence, while Stearic Acid represents a specific type of fatty acid, Palm Stearin signifies a fraction of palm oil with diverse applications and properties. Palm stearin and stearic acid serve various industries due to their unique properties:
  • Is RBD palm stearin a stearic acid?
  • Unlike stearic acid, RBD palm stearin is not an acid, in fact, it has a PH value close to neutral, hence, special handling precautions are not needed. In the food industry, its physical and chemical characteristics make palm stearin a very stable oil, with a melting point of around 56°C, see stable 1.
  • What is Commercial stearic acid?
  • Commercial stearic acid is often a mixture of stearic and palmitic acids. Typical grades in the market include triple pressed stearic acid, double pressed stearic acid, and rubber grade stearic acid. As the name suggests, it is an “acid” therefore special handling precautions are required.
  • Is palm oil safe?
  • Palm oil is possibly safe when used as a medicine, short-term. Taking 7-12 grams daily for up to 6 months seems to be safe. When taken by mouth: Palm oil is commonly consumed in foods. But palm oil contains a type of fat that can increase cholesterol levels. So people should avoid eating palm oil in excess.
