A. Fractionation is a separation process used to obtain specific portions (fractions) of a plant oil. This allows us to make a coating that is solid at room temperature without hydrogenation or transfats.

Fractionation is a physical method using the crystallization properties of triglycerides to separate a mixture into a low melting liquid fraction and a high melting liquid fraction. There are three different types of fractionation: dry fractionation, detergent fractionation, and solvent fractionation. The two components resulting from the fractionation of palm oil is palm olein (liquid oil) and palm stearin (solid form).
