Global Palm Fatty Acid Distillate Competitive Landscape Professional Research Report 2025

Research Summary

Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD) is a byproduct of the palm oil refining process, generated when crude palm oil undergoes distillation to separate various fatty acids and other components. PFAD is typically amber to brown in color and has a high free fatty acid content. It is primarily composed of a mix of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, with palmitic acid being the most abundant. While PFAD is not suitable for human consumption due to its high free fatty acid levels, it has various industrial applications. It is commonly used in soap and detergent manufacturing, as well as in the production of animal feed, biodiesel, and oleochemical products. PFAD plays a crucial role in the utilization of resources and the reduction of waste in the palm oil industry, contributing to its sustainability and eco-friendliness.
