WHAT & HOW RBD?
RBD (Refined, Bleached, and Deodorized) Oil is a type of vegetable oil that has gone through a process of refining, bleaching, and deodorizing called the RBD process. This process aims to produce a cleaner, more stable, and neutral oil in terms of taste and aroma. Here is a more detailed explanation of each step in the RBD process:
RBD Palm Olein oil is a type of cooking oil that is derived from the palm fruit. RBD stands for "Refined, Bleached, and Deodorized," which are the processes involved in its production.
Palm olein is a liquid fraction of palm oil obtained by separating the liquid portion from the solid fats. It is commonly used for cooking and frying due to its high smoke point, which means it can withstand high temperatures without breaking down and producing smoke.
RBD Palm Olein oil has a neutral flavor and a light texture, making it suitable for various cooking applications. It is widely used in the food industry for frying snacks, baking, sautéing, and as an ingredient in margarine, shortenings, and other food products. It is also commonly used in households as a cooking oil.
RBD Coconut oil refers to "Refined, Bleached, and Deodorized" coconut oil. It is a common form of coconut oil that has undergone a refining process to remove impurities, color, and odor, resulting in a clear, colorless, and odorless oil.
Coconut oil is extracted from the kernel or meat of mature coconuts. RBD Coconut Oil is produced from dried coconut meat, also known as copra. The refining process involves several steps, including heat treatment, filtration, and the use of chemicals to remove impurities and undesirable characteristics.
Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) is a type of coconut oil that is extracted from fresh coconut meat without undergoing any refining or chemical processes. It is commonly referred to as "unrefined" or "raw" coconut oil. VCO is known for its natural extraction method, which preserves the natural aroma, flavor, and nutrients of the coconut.
To produce VCO, the fresh coconut meat is typically grated or shredded, and then the coconut milk is extracted. The coconut milk is then separated from the oil through methods like fermentation, centrifugation, or cold pressing. The resulting oil is pure, unrefined, and retains its characteristic coconut aroma and flavor.

RBD Sunflower oil refers to "Refined, Bleached, and Deodorized" sunflower oil. It is a type of cooking oil that is derived from sunflower seeds. The RBD process involves refining the oil to remove impurities, color, and odor, resulting in a clear, light-colored, and neutral-tasting oil.
Sunflower oil is obtained by pressing the seeds of sunflower plants. The refining process typically involves several steps, including degumming, neutralization, bleaching, and deodorization. These processes help remove impurities, free fatty acids, and unwanted flavors and aromas, resulting in a refined sunflower oil with a high smoke point.
RBD Canola oil refers to "Refined, Bleached, and Deodorized" canola oil. Canola oil is derived from the seeds of the canola plant, which is a variety of rapeseed that has been selectively bred to have low levels of erucic acid and glucosinolates, making it safe for consumption.
The RBD process involves refining the canola oil to remove impurities, color, and odor, resulting in a clear, light-colored, and neutral-tasting oil. The refining process typically includes steps like degumming, neutralization, bleaching, and deodorization to produce a high-quality and stable cooking oil.
RBD Canola Oil is commonly used in cooking and baking due to its mild flavor and high smoke point. It has a neutral taste, allowing it to blend well with various ingredients and flavors. The high smoke point makes it suitable for frying, sautéing, grilling, and other high-heat cooking methods.
