• Is palm olein good for frying?
  • Matthaus (2007) reported that palm olein was comparable with high oleic vegetable oils and hydrogenated sunflower and cottonseed oils in terms of oxidative stability during frying. Palm oil is resistant to oxidation, polymerization and foaming. Palm oil does not produce any gummy or sticky residues in the fryer.
  • What is refining in edible oil processing?
  • Refining is the last step in edible oil processing. We are committed to making every drop of oil safe, healthy and nutritious. Value-adding by-products may be produced from processing stages like Degumming, Neutralization, Bleaching, Dewaxing/Winterization and Deodorization.
  • Does palm olein affect phytosterols in French fries?
  • Tabee, J¨¡gerstad, and Dutta (2009) reported that the POP found in palm olein used in frying French fries at 180 ¡ãC for 5 h increased from 1.9 ¦Ìg/g to 5.3 ¦Ìg/g in the final batch. The degradation of phytosterols depends on the type of oil and polyunsaturated fatty acids present.
  • Is palm oil stable during frying?
  • Palm oil is highly stable during frying especially due to the synergistic activity of ¦Â-carotene and tocotrienol. In recent years there has been a shift from the use of animal fats and hydrogenated vegetable oils in frying and other food applications.
  • What type of oil does palm fruit produce?
  • Palm fruit produces two distinct types of oils: crude palm oil (CPO) from the mesocarp and palm kernel oil (PKO) from the inside kernel (Gourichon, 2013, Robbelen, 1990). Both CPO and PKO are important in world trade (Schroeder, Becker, & Skibsted, 2006). In 2012, CPO and PKO accounted for 32% of global fats and oils production.
  • Why did Malaysian palm oil refiner Ban Dung invest in a centrifuge?
  • By investing in an Alfa Laval PANX 800 decanter centrifuge, Malaysian palm oil refiner Ban Dung has increased capacity while also reducing the level of product waste in their production. With improved energy efficiency, they have even achieved lower overall operational costs. Hear their story in this video.
