Harnessing biogas in palm oil production
Biogas is a renewable energy that is produced from the breakdown of organic waste, and is a great way to ensure zero waste in palm oil production. GAR operates biogas plants to utilise the waste from our mills, producing energy which in turn, powers the mills.
Biofuels – the alternative energy source
Imagine a world where there is no more fossil fuel. What would you use to power your vehicles? How would you heat your homes? What would keep power plants and industries running? We look to biofuels – the renewable, alternative energy source that can be made from palm oil.
Soft, safe, sustainable: Everything you need to know about fatty esters
People want better products – but they also want safer, cleaner, and more responsible ingredients. That’s the challenge we help solve every day,” said Christopher Lee, Head of Sales and Marketing for Oleochemicals at
Glycerine 101: How palm-based glycerine supports sustainable formulations
Some ingredients quietly hold the world together. Glycerine is one of them. Found in food, skincare, medicine, and even industrial products, this clear liquid plays a role most of us barely notice, yet rely on every single day.
How our palm-based fats help shape mouthfeel
From chocolate and confectionery to dairy alternatives and ice cream, the texture and sensory quality of a product are shaped by the physical and chemical properties of fats, things like melting point, structure, and blend composition.
Cocoa Butter Substitutes (CBS)
Our CBS products not only offer good heat resistance and long-lasting glossiness, but also deliver quick flavor release and a pleasant cooling sensation
Milk Fat Replacers
our milk fat replacers are suitable for a wide range of applications, such as creamers and toppings.
Ice Cream Fat Replacers
Our palm-based ice cream fat replacers are developed to support consistent product quality while improving consumer satisfaction
About us our Food & Health
Feel the flavour: Why mouthfeel is the future of food and how our ingredients bring it to life
What makes food irresistible? Before flavour even kicks in, it’s the feel, that first bite that creamy texture, that satisfying crunch.
Today’s consumers are more discerning than ever. They want food that doesn’t just taste good but feels just right too. From the smooth melt of chocolate to the light fluffiness of whipped toppings or the crunch of layered snacks, texture is becoming a major driver of indulgence, health, and clean-label demand.
Palm-derived fatty acids: Bridging various industrial needs
Palm-based fatty acids, extracted from both palm oil and palm kernel oil, have a broad range of industrial applications.
Caprylic acid (C8)
With rising demand in the oleochemicals market, industry players must stay updated to skilfully navigate the evolving global regulatory landscape
Palmitic acid (C16)
It is notably more affordable than alternatives like soybean oil, making it a budget-friendly option, especially for consumers in low-income countries.
Stearic acid (C18)
Palm-based fatty acids can be sustainable, especially when sourced responsibly. Their high yield per hectare makes palm oil a land-efficient option.
Oleic acid (C18:1)
With growing global environmental and ethical awareness, regulations for palm-derived products have intensified, making adherence to strict ecological criteria essential in many industries.
About us our Oleochemicals
The right fat for the job: Selecting oleochemical fatty acids for industry needs
Did you know? There are four major oleochemicals: fatty acids, fatty alcohols, fatty methyl esters, and soap noodles. These substances are used in a wide array of applications, including cleaning products, personal care products, lubricants, solvents, and biodiesel. They often represent the ‘chassis’ or structural ingredients in these products, and so make up the bulk of the formulations. Imagine a secret ingredient that can transform your industry’s products from ordinary to extraordinary. This ingredient isn’t a new high-tech discovery or a rare exotic element – it’s something far more fundamental: fatty acids. In the ever-evolving world of industrial applications, selecting the appropriate type of fatty acid is like finding the perfect key to unlock immense potential
