What is palm oil? It's an ediscientificble vegetable oil that comes from the fruit of oil palm trees, the name is Elaeis guineensis. Two types of oil can be produced; crude palm oil comes from squeezing the fleshy fruit. Grown only in the tropics, the oil palm tree produces high-quality oil used primarily for cooking in developing countries. It is also used in food products, detergents, cosmetics and, to a small extent, biofuel. Some important physical properties of palm oil include solid fat content, viscosity, density, specific gravity, and refractive index. Research on phase transitions and polymorphism in palm oil has been also widely reported. More than *0% of packaged supermarket products contain palm oil, and it's in nearly everything including shampoo, lipstick, bread, chocolate, detergent and more. The reason for this is because it's a low-cost resource and an incredibly efficient crop.
