Palmolive oil is referred to as shortening because it has the ability to make baked goods tender and moist by inhibiting gluten formation, similar to traditional shortenings made from animal fats or other oils. The term "shortening" comes from its ability to "shorten" the texture of doughs and batters, resulting in a crumbly or flaky consistency. Palmolive oil, being a saturated fat, has properties that allow it to serve this purpose effectively in various recipes.
