• Why do refiners of refining process perform elemental analysis in palm oil?
  • Some metals crude palm oil (CPO) typically carry out elemental analysis at different stages of the present in palm oil can affect the quality of the final products. Therefore, refiners of refining process as part of the quality control/quality assurance (QC/QA) programs.
  • What is laboratory testing of palm oil?
  • Laboratory testing is an indispensable part of research and development and quality control. Table 1 lists the most relevant test parameters for QC of various forms of palm oil (e.g., crude palm oil (CPO), crude palm kernel oil (CPKO), and refined, bleached, and deodorized (RBD) palm oil). Table 1.
  • How do you liquify crude palm oil?
  • 20 samples of crude palm oil (CPO) with varying iodine values (IV) were kept in a water bath at 60 ¡ãC for at least 30 minutes to liquify them. These samples were then measured at 60 ¡ãC on a Metrohm NIRS DS2500 Liquid Analyzer ( Figure 1) in transmission mode over the full wavelength range (400¨C2500 nm) using 8 mm disposable vials.
