Palm oil density (specific gravity)

The density (specific gravity) of palm oil is (0.9170-0.9440) *10.3kg/m3. It should be noted that the density varies with weather and temperature. Palm oil is a tropical woody plant oil, which has the largest output, consumption and international trade volume in the world at present. Together with soybean oil and rapeseed oil, it is also called "the three largest vegetable oils in the world" and has a history of more than 5,000 years.

First, the correlation of palm oil.

(1) Palm oil is squeezed from palm fruit on oil palm trees, and palm oil and palm kernel oil are made from pulp and nuts respectively. Traditionally, palm oil only includes the former. Palm oil can be refined and separated to obtain products with different melting points, which are widely used in catering industry, food industry and oil industry respectively.

(2) Southeast Asia and Africa are the main palm oil producing areas, accounting for about 88% of the total palm oil production in the world. Indonesia, Malaysia and Nigeria are the top three producers in the world. At present, China has become the largest importer of palm oil in the world, and the annual consumption of palm oil is about 6 million tons, accounting for 20% of the total market.

(3) Palm oil is an important part of the world oil market, accounting for more than 30% of the world oil production. Oil palm is a kind of crop that blooms and bears fruits all year round.

(4) Commercial production of oil palm can last for 25 years! Affected by the expansion of global palm oil planting area and the increase of mature palm oil area, the global palm oil production continued to increase in 20 12, or reached a record high.

(V) At the end of 20 12, the domestic palm oil spot market picked up, mainly because the demand of "two festivals" started to stimulate terminal traders to speed up procurement. But at the same time, the speed of domestic palm oil import to Hong Kong has accelerated, far exceeding the growth of demand; The import cost of palm oil has decreased, and the long-term expectation is lower.

Second, advantages and disadvantages of palm oil

(1) Advantages: 1. Palm oil tastes bitter and flat, and is non-toxic, belonging to heart meridian and large intestine meridian. It has the functions of lowering blood pressure, regulating blood lipid and promoting blood circulation, so nutrition is mainly aimed at patients with hypertension or hyperlipidemia, so palm oil is recommended.

It is rich in vitamins, carotene and minerals. Proper use can supplement human nutrition, effectively inhibit the occurrence of cancer cells, and there is less energy inside, which is very suitable for people who lose weight.

(2) Disadvantages: Palm oil contains a lot of saturated fatty acids. Eating too much may lead to an increase in cholesterol, and may also induce diseases such as arteriosclerosis or high blood pressure, and there is also a lot of fat in it, which is easy to cause obesity.
