What Is RBD Palm Olein CP 10 C? A Complete Guide for the Palm Derivatives Industry

Introduction to RBD Palm Olein CP 10 C

RBD Palm Olein CP 10 C refers to a fractionated, refined, bleached, and deodorized (RBD) palm oil variant grade with a cloud point of 10 °C, indicating its behavior at cooler temperatures. Produced via dry fractionation, CP 10 C separates the liquid olein from solid stearin, resulting in a consistent pourable oil. This grade caters to food processing, oleochemical manufacturing, and industrial uses that require stable oil at ambient conditions, especially in tropical climates like Singapore.

The name CP 10 C stems from “cloud point 10 °C,” and it is often labeled “IV 56” in reference to its iodine value of 54–56, denoting a balance of saturation and unsaturation. At room temperature (~24 °C), CP 10 C remains a transparent, light yellow liquid, with no distinct flavor or aroma, ideal for culinary and technical applications where neutrality is vital Nabati Agro Lestari.
 

Production & Physical Specifications

• Dry Fractionation Process
  RBD palm oil undergoes dry fractionation a physical process without chemicals where oil is heated (~70 °C), cooled to near its cloud point (10 °C), and then separated into olein and stearin fractions. CP 10 C is extracted as the liquid olein portion, and this method enhances oxidative resistance and maintains oil clarity throughout its shelf life.

• Key Technical Specs
  According to supplier specs:

  • Free Fatty Acid (as palmitic acid): ≤ 0.1 %

  • Moisture & Impurities: ≤ 0.1 %

  • Iodine Value: ≥ 56

  • Peroxide Value: ≤ 1 meq/kg

  • Color: ≤ 3 R Lovibond

  • Slip Melting Point: ≤ 24 °C

  • Cloud Point: ≤ 10 °C.

These tight limits ensure consistent quality suitable for deep-frying, food blending, oleochemical feedstocks, and industrial formulations.
 

Applications in Food Processing

• Frying & Cooking
  CP 10 C is a staple in industrial frying used in instant noodles, chips, doughnuts, and snacks thanks to its high heat stability and neutral flavor that maintains food taste without imparting off-notes. It also reduces oil absorption during frying through its “saturate-protected” formula, ensuring foods remain crisp and juicy without greasiness.

• Bakery & Dairy Product Use
  In food production, CP 10 C is used as a base in bakery shortenings, cakes, cream fillings, and condensed and evaporated milk, where its melting characteristics impart desirable texture and visual clarity. Its neutral color and high oxidative stability makes it ideal for foods requiring good shelf life and quality control.
   

Oleochemical & Industrial Applications

• Detergents, Soaps & Cosmetics
  CP 10 C forms a foundation for soaps, detergents, personal care, and cosmetics, especially in combination with olein derivatives or neutral fats. Its purity and stability make it ideal for soap noodles, creamy bath products, and shampoos, providing consistent functionality and texture.

• Lubricants, Biodiesel & Candle Wax
  In industry, CP 10 C is employed as lubricant base fluid, biodiesel feedstock, and in candle wax blends, owing to its favorable slipping properties and oxidation stability Nabati Agro Lestari. Its higher melting fraction, palm stearin, is utilized for structural fat needs like margarine, shortening, and ghee substitutes.
   

Advantages for Singaporean Buyers

• Tropical-Friendly Shelf Performance
  With a cloud point of 10 °C and slip-melting point of 24 °C, CP 10 C is well-suited for Singapore’s tropical storage, avoiding crystallization in warm warehouses and ensuring free flow in piping systems.

• Cost & Supply Chain Benefits
  Sourced from major producers in Indonesia and Malaysia, CP 10 C comes with logistics and compliance benefits RSPO certification, Halal, HACCP, and neutral organoleptics for straightforward import and use in ASEAN markets Nabati Agro Lestari.
   

Sustainability, Traceability & Regulations

• RSPO and Ethical Sourcing
  Leading manufacturers now ensure RSPO certification for traceability, along with no deforestation and smallholder inclusion, supporting ESG frameworks. Singaporean companies can request documentation to satisfy sustainability criteria .

• Regulatory Compliance
  CP 10 C must meet food-grade standards via Certificates of Analysis (COA) and Materials Safety Data Sheets (MSDS). It aligns with Singapore Food Regulations when declared as a food additive or ingredient. For industrial derivatives, EU REACH and GHS labeling may also apply Palm Chemicals.
   

Market Dynamics & Trends in 2025

• Global Demand & Export Flow
  CP 10 C is one of the fastest growing palm oil fractions due to its versatility and technological benefits. Indonesia and Malaysia export widely to Singapore, India, Africa, and Europe, supported by refinery expansions and fractionation upgrades.

• Innovation in Value-Added Products
  Manufacturers are now creating fortified oleins (e.g., vitamin-enriched), slip-enhanced formulas for frying, and blends tailored for biodiesel cold-flow or cosmetic functional fats, expanding CP 10 C’s industrial range.
   

Conclusion

RBD Palm Olein CP 10 C is a high-quality, versatile palm derivative tailored for Singapore’s industrial and food sectors. Its reliable physical characteristics, cloud point, oxidation stability, neutral taste fit well into frying, bakery, eco-focused cleaning, and industrial use. With transparent sourcing, sustainability certifications, and evolving value-added formulations, CP 10 C stands out as a trusted ingredient for businesses focused on performance, compliance, and green credentials in 2025 and beyond.
