• Can palm kernel oil be processed?
  • Crude, degummed bleached, or fully refined palm kernel oils can be processed with this technology (Calliauw et al., 2005) (Table 12-M). The saturated fatty acid content is increased from ¡«80% in the palm kernel oil to 93¨C96% in the palm kernel stearins; the lauric and myristic fatty acid contents go up to 80%.
  • Does palm oil need a refining system?
  • Abstract: Palm oil is rich in minor components that impart unique nutritional properties and need to be preserved. In this context, refining technologies have been improved, with the dual temperature deodo-rizer, the double condensing unit and the ice condensing system.
  • What is the Physical refining process for palm oil?
  • The physical refining process is suitable for both crude palm oil and palm kernel oil. Our physical refining plants are built for large-scale production. Our process technology is based on a fully continuous and automatic fractionation of palm oil.
  • Why is palm kernel oil better than crude oil?
  • Due to high acidity and relatively low phosphatide content, palm and palm kernel oil are generally physically refined, which is preferred to the chemical process. The quality of the crude oils has to be considered as it can greatly affect the efficiency of the refining process.
  • What are the critical aspects of palm oil sustainability?
  • This review highlights the critical aspects of palm oil sustainability, processing, and utilization. Palm oil processing involves several key steps, including harvesting, sterilization, threshing, pressing, and refining. These processes are crucial for maintaining the quality and extending the application range of palm oil.
  • Does palm oil produce pericarp & kernel oil?
  • The palm oil fruit can yield two distinct edible oil ¨C the pericarp and the kernel parts of the palm fruit. The physical refining process is suitable for both crude palm oil and palm kernel oil. Our physical refining plants are built for large-scale production.
