What is palm kernel?

Figures from Admine product specs used in supply talks — not a lab certificate for every lot.

Palm kernel is the hard seed obtained in crude palm oil milling. Crushers press it for palm kernel oil used in margarine, cosmetics, and other downstream products.

Admine briefs moisture max 8%, T-Shell max 10%, and FFA max 3.5% by weight. After oil extraction, palm kernel cake remains for animal feed channels.

Do not write “palm kernel” on an RFQ if you mean palm kernel shell fuel. Name shell versus kernel explicitly.
