Dear Gina,

We analysed a red palm oil a few years ago, it is not much and I am sure others have better data however it is a starting point. The results are summarized in the attached report.Unfortunately the report is in Swedish but I believe you can read the results because the nutrient names are similar to english. Carotenoid results for palm oil are listed below. Palmolja=palm oil (nr 4131).

Best wishes,
Veronica

Ämne: [WARNING: SUSPICIOUS LINK IN MESSAGE!]Questions about the carotenoid content of red palm oil and products made from red palm oil

Dear Colleagues,

I am looking for some information on red palm oil. )?  Is there a good reference for the differences in carotenoid content of fresh/raw red palm oil as compared to processed products?  And what about  "palm nut pulp"? Can anyone confirm that this is actually the pulp of the flesh of the fruit/kernel?
Are there areas where palm KERNEL is eaten, or only the oil from the kernels is extracted?
Kind regards,
Gina
