• How to obtain high quality palm oil product?
  • To obtain high quality palm oil product, the process is strictly supervised since the plantation stage. The very first step is to maintain the quality of seedlings by performing cross-pollination of selected parent palms. Generally, there are three different forms of palm fruits namely dura, pisifera and tenera as shown in Figure 7.
  • Why is improvement of palm oil plantation necessary before refinery process?
  • Improvement of oil palm plantation, fruit harvest and oil extraction process in palm oil mills is necessary before the refinery process so that hydrolysis reactions that produce MAG and DAG and chlorine contamination can be minimized in crude palm oil (CPO).
  • How is palm oil quality controlled?
  • As an important resource for human food industries, palm oil quality is controlled by government and palm oil private sectors by implementing systematic assurance systems that follow international standards such as Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), ISO 9001 and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) (MPOB, 2007; Nazir et al., 2012).
  • How are palm oil products tested?
  • Palm oil products are subjected to many standardized test methods to determine their chemical and physical properties. Laboratory testing is an indispensable part of research and development and quality control.

  • What factors affect oil palm oil extraction efficiency (OER)?
  • The OER can be affected by many factors: the oil content in oil palm fruitlets, the age of the oil palm tree, the soil conditions, the climate, the harvesting practices, the quality of the harvested fruitlets and the oil extraction efficiency in the mills.
