• What is a fraction of palm oil used for?
  • The various fraction of palm oil allows it to be used in different types of food products such as margarine, frying oil, and cocoa butter substitute. In fractionation, proper control of the fractionation conditions is important to produce the fractions with desirable stearin and olein quality.
  • What are the products of statolizer fractionation of palm kernel oil?
  • Consequently, the two steps Statolizer fractionation of palm kernel oil results in the following three products: a palm kernel stearin IV ¡«4 (for direct use as CBS), a palm kernel stearin IV ¡«7 (for use as CBS after full hydrogenation), and a palm kernel olein IV ¡«27.
  • Can palm oil be fractionated?
  • Because of its fatty acid composition, which includes 50% saturated and 50% unsaturated fatty acids, palm oil can readily be fractionated, i.e. partially crystallized and separated into a high melting fraction or stearin and a low melting fraction or olein.
  • What processes are used to fractionate palm oil?
  • Three main commercial processes for fractionating palm oil are in use: the fast dry process, the slow dry process and the detergent process. All these processes lead to specific products of different quality with different yield and operating costs.
  • What is a hard palm mid fraction (hpmf)?
  • The hard palm mid fraction (HPMF) route generally consists of four fractionation steps (Fig. 12.12) (Desmet Ballestra Group, 2011). Palm oil is first fractionated into an olein IV 56¨C57; this olein is further re-fractionated into a super olein IV 64¨C66, and a soft palm mid fraction IV 44¨C45 which may contain some PPP in excess.
  • Which equipment is the right solution for palm oil separation?
  • The ANDRITZ equipment is the right solution to meet the separation needs of palm oil producers and users We are the only supplier that can offer decanters, filter presses, screw presses, belt presses, dryers, and also a way to save 80% on hydraulic oil expenditure thanks to our innovative palm olein power pack (POPP).
