Indian StandardSPECIFICATION FOR PALM OIL

o. FOREWORD

0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian StandardsInstitution on 15 February 1977 as an emergency standard, consequent toa specific request made by the Government of India for its preparation.Subsequently, the emergency standard has been reviewed by the Oils andOilseeds Sectional Committee and the emergency character of this"standard removed through Amendment No. I to this standard.

0.2 Palm oil is obtained Crom the fruits ofoil palm ( Etaeis guineensis ) trees.Realizing the importance of this new source of oil, efforts have been madeto grow oil palm plants in different parts of the country. Such plantationshave already been started in the States of Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, andAndaman and Nicobar Islands. Presently substantial quantities of palmoil are being imported into the country.

0.3 The fruits of oil palm contain two parts, the outer fleshy part or pulp,called mesocarp and the inner seed or nut called stone. The latter consistsof hard shell and kernel inside. The pulp forms about 40 to 70 percentof the fruit and contains 60 to 75 percent of the reddish coloured oil.Palmitic acid is the characteristic fatty acid ( 35 to 50 percent) of the oil.The other major fatty acids are oleic and linoleic ( 45 to 60 percent ).

O.~ This standard covers the requirements for imported as well asindigenous palm oil. In so far as the edible grade is concerned, it isexpected that the requirements prescribed in this standard would beadopted shortly in the Prevention of Food Adulteration Rules, 1954, asmodified from time to time.

0.5 This' standard has been prepared on the basis of technical dataobtained from .the Oil Technological Research Institute, Anaruapur andHindustan Lever Limited. Bombay. Reference has also been made to thedraft specification for palm oil prepared by Codex AlimentariusCommission of the World Health Organization and the Food andAgriculture Organization. The assistance derived is gratefullyacknowledged.

0.6 This standard has been processed by Oils and Fats Subcommittee,CAFDC 5: 1 of lSI composed of representatives of Hindustan Lever 14td,Bombay; .Director of Marketing & Inspection, Nagpurj.The V..inaspari
