高熔点棕榈油起酥油 — Frequently Asked Questions

Minimum order for HMP palm shortening is one full container load — approximately 16–20 MT in 200-litre drums or equivalent in IBCs. For large-volume food manufacturers with heated receiving infrastructure, liquid tanker delivery is also available. Contact Bio Green Wax Ltd at +44 20 7101 3847 or sales@biogreenwax.com to confirm current MOQs, packaging options, and pricing for your specific grade and delivery destination.

Yes. HMP palm shortening from Bio Green Wax Ltd is specifically designed for these demanding applications. For laminated puff pastry: the plasticity range and SFC profile provide the consistency needed for rollable, non-brittle dough lamination at pastry production temperatures (15–20°C). For biscuit and cracker manufacturing: it contributes crumb structure, short texture, and extended shelf life.

For industrial continuous frying (snack chips, crackers, extruded snacks): its high stability and high smoke point (approximately 230°C) extend oil life and reduce waste. Contact our food technical team to discuss your specific application requirements.

Our HMP palm shortening meets food-grade quality specifications: FFA content ≤0.1% (as palmitic acid) and moisture and volatile matter ≤0.1%. These parameters are critical for food manufacturing consistency and for preventing premature oxidation during storage. Batch-specific values are confirmed in the Certificate of Analysis provided with every shipment — supporting your HACCP documentation and incoming goods quality verification.

Yes. Halal certification from internationally recognised Islamic certification bodies is provided as standard with all palm shortening shipments. Kosher certified supply can be arranged on request. Both certifications are required by food manufacturers selling into Muslim and Jewish consumer markets globally, as well as by many international retail chains in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and export markets. Contact Bio Green Wax Ltd with your certification requirements when placing your enquiry.

Yes — unequivocally. Our HMP palm shortening is produced through fractionation of refined palm oil only — no hydrogenation is involved in its manufacture. This means it contains zero industrially produced trans fatty acids (iTFA). This is a critical regulatory and marketing point: EU Regulation 2019/649 restricts iTFA content in food to 2g/100g fat maximum, and many export markets (USA FDA) have effectively banned partially hydrogenated oil (PHO). Our palm shortening is fully compliant with all iTFA regulations and can be labelled as non-hydrogenated.

HMP palm shortening pricing is linked to refined palm oil commodity markets. Contact Bio Green Wax Ltd's trading team at sales@biogreenwax.com for current FOB Malaysia/Indonesia or CIF-to-destination pricing based on your specific grade, volume, and delivery schedule. Volume contracts and forward pricing agreements are available for regular buyers requiring supply and price security.

Yes. RSPO Segregated and Mass Balance certified HMP palm shortening is available from Bio Green Wax Ltd with RSPO Supply Chain Certificates provided per shipment. EUDR compliant supply with full plantation-level traceability is available for EU market imports. Many European food retailers and manufacturers now require RSPO certified palm shortening as a minimum supply chain standard — Bio Green Wax Ltd's certified supply chain supports your sustainability reporting and retailer compliance requirements.

Yes. Bio Green Wax Ltd supplies HMP palm shortening specifically formulated for Danish pastry and croissant laminated dough applications. The key technical requirement is a plasticity window that allows sheeting and folding without breaking at dough room temperature (typically 15–20°C) while providing sufficient SFC to maintain defined lamination layers during baking.

Our technical team can advise on the specific SFC profile and grade most appropriate for your production room temperature, dough formula, and lamination equipment configuration. com to request a technical consultation.

Bio Green Wax Ltd supplies HMP palm shortening in 25 kg cartons (solid form, for smaller-scale buyers and precision formulation work), 200-litre food-grade drums (most common format for production bakeries), 1,000-litre food-grade IBCs (for mid-scale continuous production), and heated bulk tanker delivery for large-volume industrial food manufacturers with appropriate heated storage and pump infrastructure. Specify your preferred format and confirm your receiving and storage infrastructure when ordering.

HMP palm shortening has a shelf life of 12–18 months from production date in sealed packaging stored at ambient temperature (15–30°C) away from direct sunlight and heat above 35°C. Store away from strongly scented materials as fats absorb ambient odours. For liquid-form storage (heated tanks above melting point), maintain at 55–60°C with nitrogen blanketing to prevent oxidation. Bio Green Wax Ltd confirms production dates on all documentation for FIFO stock management and shelf life compliance.

Yes. HMP palm shortening is one of the most effective industrial frying fats for continuous fryers used in potato chip, cracker, extruded snack, and instant noodle production. Its high melting point, high SFC at room temperature (reducing solid carryover from the fryer), excellent oxidative stability, and high smoke point (approximately 230°C) contribute to extended oil life, consistent product quality, and lower oil turnover costs. Bio Green Wax Ltd can supply appropriate grades with full technical and food safety documentation for industrial frying applications.

Yes. Bio Green Wax Ltd provides full SFC (Solid Fat Content) curves measured at standard IUPAC/AOCS temperature points (10, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40°C) and comprehensive technical data sheets including fatty acid profile, slip melting point, drop point, FFA, colour, and application guidance for all palm shortening grades. These are essential for food technologist formulation and product development work — enabling you to select and specify the right fat for your application without lengthy in-house testing. Contact sales@biogreenwax.com to request technical documentation for your specific grade.

Our HMP palm shortening is sourced from ISO 22000 and/or HACCP-certified refineries. Standard documentation includes: Certificate of Analysis; Halal certificate; Certificate of Origin; RSPO Supply Chain Certificate (for certified supply); and EUDR due diligence statement (for EU imports). Kosher certification is available on request. For India imports, FSSAI-compatible documentation is provided. All certifications are from internationally recognised bodies accepted in target export markets.

Yes. Bio Green Wax Ltd can supply HMP palm shortening with customised SFC profiles and melting points to meet specific food technology formulation requirements — for example, a shortening with SFC of 35–40% at 20°C for Danish pastry, or 25–30% at 25°C for tropical-market biscuit applications. Customisation is achieved through precision fractionation and blending of palm oil fractions. Custom grade minimum quantities apply. Contact our technical team at sales@biogreenwax.com with your target SFC curve and application details.

Palm stearin is the direct solid fraction obtained from palm oil fractionation with high palmitic acid content (55–65%) and a melting point of 44–56°C — it is a raw material used in further processing (oleochemicals, soap manufacture, further fractionation).

Palm shortening is a finished fat product specifically formulated for direct food manufacturing use — it may be a single fraction, a blend, or include specific additives — with defined SFC curves, plasticity range, and functional performance characteristics designed for bakery, frying, or confectionery applications. Palm shortening is application-ready; palm stearin requires further processing for most food uses.

Yes. For large-volume industrial buyers with appropriate heated receiving infrastructure (insulated heated storage tanks, pump systems, and heated transfer lines), Bio Green Wax Ltd can supply HMP palm shortening as a heated bulk liquid in insulated tanker trucks. The fat must be maintained above its melting point (approximately 55–60°C) throughout transport. This delivery mode eliminates solid fat packaging costs and the need for solid-fat melting equipment in your facility. Contact us to discuss your site infrastructure and volume requirements for liquid bulk supply.

Lead times from Malaysian or Indonesian origins to European and Asian food manufacturers are typically 4–6 weeks for CIF deliveries. Bio Green Wax Ltd recommends placing orders 6–8 weeks ahead of production requirements to ensure reliable supply continuity. Contact our sales team at +44 20 7101 3847 or sales@biogreenwax.com for current stock and a confirmed delivery timeline for your destination.
