Palm Stearin

Palm Stearin – Functional Solid Fraction for Bakery & Industrial Fat Applications

Product Overview

Palm Stearin is the solid fraction obtained from the fractionation of palm oil, valued for its firm texture and high melting point. Naturally rich in saturated triglycerides, it provides excellent structure, stability, and plasticity — making it ideal for margarine, shortening, bakery fats, and various industrial formulations. Its oxidative resistance and neutral flavor also make it a preferred alternative to hydrogenated fats in food manufacturing.

At Tuna Sourcing, we supply Refined, Bleached, and Deodorized (RBD) Palm Stearin produced under ISO 22000 Food Safety Management and RSPO-compliant systems. Our palm stearin ensures consistent hardness, smooth crystallization, and reliable performance in both bakery and non-food applications, available in bulk or customized packaging formats.
