HORUS OIL WHOLESALERS

Refined Bleached Deodorized (RBD) Palm Kernel Oil or PKO is an edible plant oil derived from the kernel of the oil palm (Elaeis guineensis). It should not be confused with the other two edible oils derived from palm fruits: Palm oil, extracted from the pulp of the oil palm fruit, and coconut oil, extracted from the kernel of the coconut. It is widely used throughout for the production of “Soap”, “Cosmetic” and “Food Industries”. It has been Refined, Bleached and Deodorized after it’s been extracted from the kernel of the palm tree. This non–chemical refining process results in a white to off–white colored material with a bland to nonexistent odor and taste. It is naturally high in saturated fatty acids, causing it to have a higher melting point and remain solid at room temperature. It is a stiffer raw ingredient than palm fruit oil and has a higher percentage of lauric acid. Standard Specification Of Refined Bleached Deodorized (RBD) Palm Kernel Oil:

Vegetable oils and fats are the raw materials in the manufacture of shortenings, margarines, frying oils, and other edible products used by both the food manufacturer and the household. Vegetable oils can also be used to formulate specialty lipids such as human milk fat substitutes for infant formula, low calorie fats and oils and edible oils enriched in essential long chain omega–3 fatty acids and medium–chain fatty acids. They also have applications in the oleochemical, leather, paint, rubber, textile and pharmaceutical industries. Vegetable oils and fats are the densest source of food energy, more than any other food group. Vegetable oils are also carriers of fat soluble vitamins, and provide essential fatty acids. Crude vegetable oils and fats consist predominantly of triacylglycerols along with other minor components such as Free Fatty Acids (FFA), monoacylglycerols, dia–cylglycerols, Phospholipids, free and esterified Phytosterols, Polyphenols, Triterpene alcohols, Tocopherols,

Crude Sunflower oil is a non-volatile oil expressed from sunflower (Helianthus annuus) seeds. Sunflower oil is commonly used in food as a frying oil, and in cosmetic formulations as an emollient. There are several types of sunflower oils produced, such as (i) High Linoleic, (ii) High Oleic and (iii) Mid Oleic. Sunflower oil is a food ingredient which is actively used in culinary. Thanks to oil, the product does not stick during frying and salads acquire nice taste. Moreover, some fats contain sunflower oil in their composition, for example margarine. It is also used for industrial purposes: this ingredient can be used in paints and lacquers production as well as in soap making. Among the varieties of Oleic product, crude oil made of sunflower seeds is considered to be the most healthy. This oil contains such necessary elements for human body as: ■ Sterols ■ Tocopherols ■ Phosphatides

Refined Sunflower Oil is the Non–Volatile oil compressed from the seeds of Sunflower plant. It is commonly used in food as Frying Oil, and in Cosmetic formulations as an Emollient. It is a Monounsaturated / Polyunsaturated mixture of mostly Oleic Acid (Omega–9) Linoleic Acid (Omega–6) group of Oils. The oil content of the seed ranges from 22% to 36% (average 28%); the kernel contains 45–55% oil. The expressed oil is of Light Amber color with a mild and pleasant flavor; refined oil is pale yellow. Refining losses are low and the oil has good keeping qualities with light tendency for flavor reversion. The refined sunflower oil contains appreciable qualities of vitamin E, Sterols, Squalene, and other Aliphatic Hydrocarbons. It is high in the essential vitamin E and low in saturated fat. The two most common types are Linoleic and high Oleic. Linoleic sunflower oil is common cooking oil that has high levels of Polyunsaturated Fat.

Refined Corn Oil (Maize Oil) is oil extracted from the Germ of Corn (Maize). Its main use is in cooking, where its high smoke point makes Refined Corn Oil a valuable frying oil. It is also a key ingredient in some margarine. Refined Corn Oil generally less expensive than most other types of vegetable oils. One bushel of corn contains 1.55 pounds of corn oil (2.8% by weight). The issue to use corn oil as well as other vegetable oils for cooking is not just the Oxidized Cholesterol they create (which significantly increase risk for coronary heart disease), but also their very high amount of Omega–6 Fats, which it throws Omega–6 and Omega–3 ratio in the body out of balance. It is reported to have an Omega–6 to Omega–3 ratio of 49:1, a very far cry from the ideal 1:1 ratio. Standard Specification of Refined Bleached Deodorized Corn (Maize) Oil:

Crude Degummed Soybean Oil (CDSO) is pure but inedible soybean oil produced from fair to average quality crude soybeans. Crude Degummed Soybean Oil is produced from soybeans. The color of Crude Soybean oil is yellow to lightly red. The odor, texture and flavor of crude degummed soybean oil are pleasant. Crude degummed soybean oil is produced from controlled NON–GMO soybeans (< 0.9%). The soybeans are cracked, adjusted for moisture content, heated to between 60 ºC to 88 °C (140–190 °F), rolled into flakes and solvent–extracted with hexanes. The majority of the free fatty acids and gums naturally present in soybeans are removed by hydration and mechanical or physical separation. Most of the free fatty acids and gums naturally present in soybeans are removed by mechanical, physical or sometimes chemical separation. The oil is then degummed for applications or consumption. They provide the body with the essential fatty acids, fat soluble vitamins.

Refined Soybean Oil is a Vegetable Oil, which is extracted from the Seeds of the Soybean. Refined Soybean Oil is one of the most consumed cooking oils according to the US agricultural services data information. Refined Soybean Oils, both liquid and partially Hydrogenated are sold as “Vegetable Oil”, or are ingredients in a wide variety of processed foods. Most of the remaining residue (Soybean Meal) is used as Animal Feed. As a Drying Oil, processed soybean oil is also used as a base for Printing Inks (Soy Ink) and Oil Paints. Refined Soybean Oil is Pale and Yellow. It mostly contains various Glycerides, Linoleic Acid, Oleic Acid, Plamitic Acid and Linolenic Acid. Soybean oil is nutritious, has a high smoke point and is an inexpensive oil. Standard Specification of Refined Bleached Deodorized Soybean Oil
