What are the benefits of palm oil? What s the downside?

Benefits: Palm oil is widely used in cooking and food manufacturing around the world. It is used as a cooking oil, crunchy grease oil, and margarine.

Like other edible oils, palm oil is easily digested, absorbed, and promotes health. Palm oil is an important component of fat, with mild properties, and is a good material for making food.

From the combination of palm oil, its high solids glycerin content allows food to avoid hydrogenation and remain stable, and effectively resist oxidation, and it is also suitable for hot climates and makes a good condiment to pastry and bakery products. Palm oil is popular in the food manufacturing industry due to several properties it possesses.

Disadvantages: Compared with traditional vegetable oils, peanut oil, soybean oil, rapeseed oil, etc., palm oil is higher in saturated fatty acids and lower in unsaturated fatty acids, which is not an ideal healthy oil. In some trials, palm oil did show a "blood lipid regulatory" effect.

However, it does not have an advantage over other vegetable oils. Many studies have also shown that palm oil has a negative effect on cardiovascular indicators.

There are also a large number of unsaturated fatty acids in palm oil, which can speed up the metabolism of fatty acids in the human body, and can prevent cholesterol from accumulating in the body.

Excessive consumption of palm oil will allow the body to absorb too many fatty acids, which will affect the metabolism of cholesterol in the human body and will significantly increase the cholesterol index in the body.

In fact, palm oil is also a food that we call saturated oil, mainly because palm oil contains a lot of saturated fatty acids (50%), monounsaturated fatty acids (40%) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (10%). In fact, the digestion and absorption rate of palm oil in our body is very high. And in palm oil itself does not contain cholesterol.

At the same time, palm oil is not only rich in triene tocopherols, but also rich in various vitamins, which can help us promote vascular health, and palm oil also contains a lot of high oleic properties, due to its rich content of monounsaturated fatty acids. This allows us to cook delicious food when cooking, especially during frying, and at the same time keep the food fresh for a longer time.

Palm oil has half saturated fatty acids and half unsaturated fatty acids; Eating too much saturated fatty acids will cause the body's cholesterol to rise, causing arteriosclerosis, blood lipids and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. At the same time, it contains unsaturated fatty acids, which can increase the amount of high-density lipoprotein and reduce the incidence of hyperlipidemia.

Palm oil can effectively promote the health of blood vessels, and can also effectively improve the binding ability of cholesterol in the body, can promote the metabolism and excretion of cholesterol in the body, and has a good lipid-lowering effect. However, you can't eat too much at one time, and you can't drink more warm water in your daily life to replenish the water in your body, which can effectively detoxify.

Palm oil is extracted from the palm fruit of the oil palm tree, and the oil pressed from the pulp is called palm oil, while the oil pressed from the kernel is called palm kernel oil, and the composition of the two oils is very different. Palm oil mainly contains palmitic acid and oleic acid, two of the most common fatty acids, and the saturation degree of palm oil is about 50%; Palm kernel oil mainly contains lauric acid, which has a saturation of more than 80%. Traditionally, palm oil refers only to crude oil and refined oil extracted from palm pulp, and does not include palm kernel oil.

It is considered a natural food.

Palm oilThe harm is: long-term consumption will cause cardiovascular disease, and excessive cake oil in pastries will be more harmful to health.

Palm oil has become the only oil used in many potato chips, rice crackers, and puffed foods. Palm oil is made from the palm fruit of the oil palm tree, and the pulp and kernel produce palm oil and palm kernel oil respectively, which is traditionally referred to as palm oil. Palm oil can be refined and extracted to obtain products with different melting points, which have a wide range of uses in the catering industry, food industry and oleochemical industry.

Save:

It is supplemented by the removal of iron during oil production, which can indirectly control oxidation. At the same time, attention should be paid to the control of all the environmental conditions that promote the oxidation of oils and fats. Conveyors and hoists are cleaned regularly; Prevent oil contamination by soil and debris brought from the planting site.

Do not use copper, brass, bronze fittings to prevent copper and oil contact.

The reason for this is that copper is a strong oxidizing agent. Keep the temperature as low as possible without harming the oil. At the same time, try to make the orange imitation less exposed to the air.

During storage, a freezer can be installed behind the vacuum drying section of the plant to cool the oil down to 45-50 before entering the tank. After the oil is loaded into the tank, the tank is filled with inert gas (carbon dioxide, nitrogen). Antioxidants can also be added to the oil to passivate trace metals to eliminate oxidation during oil storage.

In addition, when using large containers to store Xukai oil, the oxidation can also be controlled, and the splashing of oil during loading and unloading can also be reduced.
