Malaysia Palm Oil Research Institute patented the physical refine method that involves degumming and bleaching, followed by clarification and desodorisation by molecular distillation using lower temperatures (< 170 C) and pressure (100 mTorr), obtaining an oil comparable to the RED (bleached and deodorized) with less than 0.1 % of acidity and impurities, but with vitamin E retention and 80 % of carotenoids, called carotino [28, 29, 33, 34], It is also observed the use of crude palm oil in Bahia (Brazil) and Africa, being part of many culinary dishes [36]. The crude palm oil is reddish because it contains a high amount of y9-caroten (500-1000 mg-kg ) [37].
