  • What is a typical palm oil milling process flow?
  • The typical palm oil milling process flow is best described through a series of activities conducted in different stations (Figure 2). It all begins with the transportation of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) from plantation sites to the palm oil mills.
  • Can enzymatic biotechnology improve palm oil production?
  • By effectively breaking down the cell walls of palm fruit, enzymes boost oil extraction efficiency without compromising the quality of crude palm oil. Several palm oil companies have either experimented with or fully adopted enzymatic biotechnology, resulting in a noteworthy increase in oil production [8, 9].
  • How does palm oil milling work?
  • The digestion and pressing stations represent the core of the palm oil milling process, where palm oil is extracted from the fruits. Fruitlets, which have undergone sterilization, are conveyed to vertical cylindrical digesters where they are heated by steam and mashed by stirring arms.
  • What is the palm oil value chain?
  • The palm oil value chain comprises distinct segments (Figure 1), commencing with the upstream sector involving activities such as oil palm plantation, palm oil milling, and kernel crushing plants. Further down the supply chain, the midstream processing facilities include palm oil refineries.
  • How are palm kernels used?
  • Palm kernels are subsequently dried and stored, ready to be dispatched to kernel crushing plants. Palm kernel shells and pressed mesocarp fibers find utility as solid fuel feedstock for the steam boiler. Palm oil mills are typically self-sufficient in energy generation due to the ample availability of biomass.
