HISTORY OF PALM OIL
Commonly recognized as the tall, towering, ornamental garden tree that grows along streets and walking paths, the Palm tree has become one of the world’s most cultivated botanicals due to the flesh of its fruits and the fruits’ kernels, which yield the versatile Palm Carrier Oil and Palm Kernel Carrier Oil.
Sometimes referred to as “Red Palm Oil” because of its natural, rich, dark redness when unprocessed, Palm Carrier Oil is obtained from the fruit of the Elaeis guineensis botanical, which is better known as the Oil Palm Tree. Palm Kernel Oil, on the other hand, is derived from the same fruit’s kernels. These oils must be further distinguished from Coconut Oil, which is derived from the kernel of the Coconut Palm (Cocos nucifera).
Although the Oil Palm has been naturalized in Central America, the West Indies, Madagascar, Malaysia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, as well as several islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, it is native to west and southwest Africa and is thus commonly referred to as African Oil Palm or Macaw-Fat. While the main source of Palm Oil is the African Oil Palm, its other sources include the American Oil Palm (Elaeis oleifera) and the Maripa Palm (Attalea maripa) of both South America and Trinidad and Tobago. To some degree, these Palm Trees are all related. Between the 1970s-90s, Malaysia became the world’s largest producer of Palm Oil.
The use of Palm Oil can be traced back to West Africa 5000 years ago, at which time evidence suggests it was used as a staple food crop. It is believed that Arab traders introduced Palm Oil to Egypt, where Egyptians applied it topically to relieve muscular aches and pains. Considered to be sacred, casks of the oil were buried in tombs along with the deceased, as they believed they could continue using it in the afterlife. Archaeologists reportedly discovered a tomb from 3000 BCE in Abydos that contained a vessel of several kilograms of Palm Oil. Having originated in West Africa, evidence of its usage in Egypt is proof that Palm Oil was an early trade commodity. Other written records show that in the 15th century, Europeans traveling to West Africa began using Palm Oil as a food source.
In some regions of Africa, Southeast Asia, and Brazil, Palm Oil was used for culinary purposes and was ideal for use in frying, as the refined product demonstrated high oxidative stability with increases in temperature. In traditional African medicine, the versatile Palm Tree’s various parts were used to produce laxatives and diuretics as well as treatments for gonorrhea, menorrhagia, and bronchitis. It was used to soothe headaches, to relieve pain associated with rheumatism, to facilitate the healing of wounds and skin infections, and to negate poison.
When Oil Palm trees were introduced to British estates, the Indian laborers’ that worked at the estates combined their Hindu beliefs with the local Malay culture and together the two cultural groups facilitated a cross-cultural spiritual practice that involved Palm seeds. This ritual allowed the locals to feel at peace with nature. In every bunch of Palm seeds, there was one in particular that resembled a shiny, black pearl. These pearly seeds, called “sbatmi” in Tamil and “shakti” in Malay, were specifically chosen by the traditional healers to make accessories for the ritual. It was believed that these distinguished seeds had supernatural curative properties and that those who wore them were blessed by nature.
