The physicochemical properties of palm kernel oil are quite different from palm oil,but similar to co-conut oil.The melting point,iodine value,solid fat content,fatty acid composition,and crystal morphology of palm kernel oil and coconut oil were compared,after that,they were separately added to the mixed oil to compare the com-patibility.Finally,the quality of the finished product was analyzed.The results indicated that the melting point of palm kernel oil and coconut oil was about 25 ℃;the content of lauric acid exceeded 40%;the unsaturated fatty acid content of palm kernel oil was 18.1%and coconut oil was 10.3%;the crystallization of palm kernel oil was more delicate than coconut oil.In mixed oil,palm kernel oil was more compatible than coconut oil.In the finished prod-uct,margarine containing palm kernel oil,which pasting value was 312.4,water absorption value was 650 mL,had better performance.Meanwhile,the market price of palm kernel oil was relatively low,which can generate considera-ble economic benefits.
