This means freezing point for natural saw palmetto oil is around 13℃. When ambient
temperature is lower than 13℃, the oil will become turbid, precipitated or even freeze.
Due to quantity of oil in 200L is large, freezing process may take several days.
Saw palmetto oil stored in non-constant temperature warehouses in winter needs to be
paid special attention to the phenomenon that there is sedimentation at the bottom, but
the upper part is still an oily liquid. In this case, saturated fatty acids with a high
freezing point will precipitate, and some of the unsaturated fatty acids are still liquid.So
the oil taken from the top does not represent the quality of the entire package and this
results in the products don’t comply with the requirements for fatty acid content. At this
time, it is necessary to increase the ambient temperature to make the oil to liquid form
before use.
