Palm core oil is edible plant oil derived from the oil palm kernel Elaeis guineensis . It should not be confusing with the other two vegetable oils derived from the palm fruit: palm oil, extracted from palm fruit pulp, and coconut oil, extracted from the coconut kernel.
Crude palm kernel oil, palm oil, and coconut oil are three of the most saturated vegetable fats; this oil names the 16-carbon saturated fatty acid palmitic acid it contains.
Palm oil core, which is semi-solid at room temperature, is more saturated than palm oil and is comparable to coconut oil.

History
Oil from oil palm Africa Elaeis guineensis has long been known in West African countries. European traders trading with West Africa occasionally purchase palm oil for use in Europe, but palm kernel oil remains scarce outside West Africa.
USDA has published historical production figures for palm kernel oil for years starting October 1 and ending September 30:

Research institute
In the 1960s, research and development (R & D) in oil palm nurseries began to develop after the Malaysian Department of Agriculture established an exchange program with the West African economy and four private estates established the Palm Oil Genetics Laboratory. The Malaysian government also established Kolej Serdang, which became the Malaysian Agricultural University (UPM) in the 1970s to train agricultural and agro-industry engineers and agribusiness graduates to conduct field research.
In 1979 with support from the Malaysian Institute of Agricultural Research and Development (MARDI) and UPM, the government established the Malaysian Palm Oil Research Institute (Porim), a public and private coordinated agency. B.C. Sekhar is appointed as the founder and chairman. The Porim scientists work in breeding palm trees, nutritional palm oil, and the use of potential oleochemicals. Porim was renamed the Malaysian Palm Oil Board in 2000.
Nutrition
Palm oil core, same as coconut oil, high in saturated fat and more saturated than palm oil. The high-oil palm lauric acid oil has been shown to increase blood cholesterol levels, both as LDL-C (cholesterol contained in low-density lipoprotein) and HDL-C (cholesterol contained in high-density lipoprotein). The palm kernel oil does not contain cholesterol or trans fatty acids.
Palm oil is commonly used in commercial cooking because it is cheaper than other oils and remains stable at high cooking temperatures. Oil can also be stored longer than other vegetable oils.
The approximate concentration of fatty acids (FA) in palm kernel oil is as follows:
Usage
Separating oils and fats by hydrolysis, or under the basic conditions of saponification, produces fatty acids, with glycerine (glycerol) as byproducts. Split-off fatty acids are a mixture ranging from C4 to C18, depending on the type of oil or fat.
Resembling coconut oil, palm kernel oil is packed with myristic and lauric fatty acids and is therefore suitable for the manufacture of soaps, washing powders and personal care products. Lauric acid is important in soap making: good soap should contain at least 15 percent laurate for fast feeding, while soaps made for use in seawater are based on nearly 100 percent laurate.
The derivatives of palmitic acid were used in combination with naphtha during World War II to produce napalm (aluminum na phthenate and aluminum palm > itate).
