Red cooking oil—also known as red oil—is a type of vegetable oil derived from palm fruit.

Like regular palm oil, red oil can be used for frying food. However, red oil is claimed to be richer in vitamins than other cooking oils currently on the market.

According to data compiled by Tungkot Sipayung, Executive Director of the Palm Oil Agribusiness Strategic Policy Institute (PASPI), red oil contains carotene (vitamin A) at a concentration of 753 parts per million (ppm).

This content far exceeds the carotene (vitamin A) in regular cooking oil, which is a maximum of 20 ppm.

Red oil is also recorded as containing higher levels of vitamin E and squalene, as detailed in the graph.

These various bioactive compounds have health benefits. Vitamin A supports bone formation, cell growth, boosts the immune system, and maintains eye health.

Vitamin E can boost immunity and maintain skin health, while squalene can lower blood cholesterol and help prevent heart disease.

With these advantages, PASPI believes that red oil can not only be used as cooking oil but also processed into supplements or multivitamins.

Currently, Indonesia has a pilot red oil factory in Deli Serdang, North Sumatra.

This first red oil factory in Indonesia was inaugurated by President Jokowi on Thursday (14/3/2024).

"The price of this red cooking oil is cheaper than cooking oil on the market. This means that this product can compete in the market," Jokowi said in his press release.

"The vitamin A and vitamin E content in red cooking oil is also maintained. This makes this product not only healthy but also economical for the community," he added.
