While palm kernel oil and coconut oil have a very similar fatty acid composition – that of palm oil is completely different. Palm kernel oil and coconut oil are rich in lauric acid (hence they are referred to as lauric oils). Palm oil on the other hand has very little lauric acid and is rich in palmitic and oleic acid.
