Refined Coconut Oil (RBD)
Refined Coconut Oil (RBD) — refined, bleached and deodorised coconut oil, food-grade and neutral in taste and smell, supplied in retail and foodservice bottles (1L, 2L, 5L, 20L) and in bulk (flexitank, flexibag, tankship) for wholesale purchase and international export. As an RBD coconut oil wholesale supplier and exporter, France AJ Group Ltd (UK) supplies importers, distributors, wholesalers, food manufacturers, foodservice operators and commercial buyers by the full container load (approx. 24–27 MT). Product quality and specifications are governed by the certificate of analysis (COA) provided with each shipment, with HACCP, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, BRCGS, GMP, Halal, Kosher, Non-GMO, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certification available (or as required).
What Is Refined (RBD) Coconut Oil?
RBD coconut oil is made from copra (dried coconut kernel), then refined, bleached and deodorised to a clean, neutral oil with none of the strong coconut aroma of virgin oil. Unlike liquid seed oils, coconut oil is solid or semi-solid at cool room temperature and clear liquid when warm — a natural property of its high saturated-fat content, not a sign of any defect. Its neutral flavour after deodorising makes it suitable for frying, baking, confectionery, spreads and food manufacturing where the coconut taste is not wanted, while its stability makes it a dependable processing fat. Buyers sourcing RBD coconut oil in bulk choose it for this consistency and clean profile at container scale.
Why Coconut Oil Behaves Differently: Melting Point & Lauric Acid
Coconut oil is distinctive among vegetable oils because it is rich in lauric acid and other medium-chain fatty acids, which give it a melting point of around 24–26°C. Below that it sets to a white solid; above it, it turns to a clear liquid — reversibly, with no loss of quality. This melting behaviour is exactly why coconut oil is valued in confectionery coatings, non-dairy fats and bakery applications that need a fat that is solid at ambient but melts cleanly. Confirm the melting point and fatty-acid profile on the COA to match the oil to your process.
Refined Coconut Oil Specification
Most suppliers quote "refined coconut oil" and stop there. That is a description, not a specification. We state indicative values below; the final specification is confirmed on the certificate of analysis issued for each shipment, so importers and manufacturers can verify the product against their own intake requirements.

Indicative values only. The final certificate of analysis accompanies each shipment and governs the contracted specification.
What the Specification Means for Your Line
Specification figures only matter if you know how they translate to production. Low free fatty acids (0.1% max) and a peroxide value of ≤ 5 meq/kg indicate a fresh, well-refined oil with good oxidative stability, while low moisture and impurities (0.1% max) support clean processing and storage. The neutral, deodorised profile means the oil adds fat and texture without a coconut note, and the melting point suits both liquid dosing (warm) and solid-fat applications (ambient). All values are indicative and confirmed on the certificate of analysis.

Storage & Handling
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, heat and strong odours. The oil may set solid below its melting point and re-liquefy when warmed — this is normal and does not affect quality. Keep bottles sealed until use and observe the shelf life stated on the certificate of analysis; correct storage is the key factor in preserving freshness and a low peroxide value.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is refined (RBD) coconut oil used for?
It is a food-grade, neutral-tasting oil used for frying, baking, confectionery, spreads and food manufacturing, wherever a stable coconut fat is needed without the coconut aroma.Why is my coconut oil solid?
Coconut oil sets to a white solid below about 24–26°C and turns clear liquid when warmer. This is a natural property of the oil and reverses fully on warming, with no loss of quality.What is the difference between RBD and virgin coconut oil?
RBD coconut oil is refined, bleached and deodorised to a neutral taste and smell; virgin coconut oil retains the natural coconut aroma. RBD is preferred where the coconut note is not wanted.What is the minimum order quantity?
The minimum order is one full container load, approximately 24–27 MT, in retail bottles (1L–20L) or bulk (flexitank, flexibag, tankship).What sizes and packaging are available?
