Refined Palm Kernel Oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the kernel of the oil palm fruit and processed to improve its colour, odour, and suitability for its intended applications. It differs from palm oil, which is obtained from the fruit's fleshy mesocarp. Palm kernel oil contains a relatively high proportion of saturated fatty acids, particularly lauric acid, and is used in confectionery fats, bakery ingredients, specialty fats, soaps, and personal-care formulations. It is supplied in bulk or suitable containers according to buyer requirements, with specifications varying by grade and manufacturer.

The palm kernel is the edible, hard, stony seed found at the core of the oil palm fruit. Encased within a tough shell, the kernel is a small but vital part of the palm fruit, as it contains a significant amount of oil that is highly valued in various industries. The fruit yields two distinct oils: palm oil derived from the outer parts of the fruit, and palm kernel oil derived from the kernel. The pulp left after oil is rendered from the kernel is formed into "palm kernel cake", used either as high-protein feed for dairy cattle or burned in boilers to generate electricity for palm oil mills and surrounding villages.
Crude Palm Kernel Oil (CPKO) is a light yellow crude oil, extracted from the palm kernels, containing mainly lauric acid. It is an edible plant oil which derived from the kernel of the oil palm. It is commonly used in commercial cooking because of its relatively low cost, and because it remains stable at high cooking temperatures and can be stored longer than other vegetable oils. Palm kernel oil, coconut oil and palm oil are three of the few highly saturated vegetable fats. Its lack of cholesterol and trans fatty acids, viewed as being heart-healthy attributes.
