• 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.
  • How is palm oil processed in Brazil?
  • The processing of crude oil is accomplished through continuous physical refining comprising acid pre-treatment, bleaching/filtration, and deodorization. However, there are still many challenges for the production of palm oil in Brazil.
  • What is palm oil fractionation?
  • Palm oil fractionation is carried out to produce an olein IV 56¨C59 having the characteristics to be still liquid below 25¡ãC. The objective here is simply to remove the majority of the tri-saturated triacylglycerols (mainly PPP), aiming at an improvement of the cold stability of the liquid fractions.
  • How to achieve sustainable production of palm oil in Brazil?
  • Concurrently, in order to achieve sustainable production of palm oil (RSPO¡ªRoundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) in Brazil, it is needed to evaluate various social, environmental, political, and economic aspects directly or indirectly related to the cultivation of palm tree/palm tree oil.
  • Can continuous dry fractionation be used on palm oil?
  • Recent developments in continuous dry fractionation have shown serious advantages when applied on palm oil. Moreover, it could reduce the negative emotional associations of food products containing insect ingredients as consumers often have negative feelings like ¡®disgust¡¯ when consuming such products (Mancini, Moruzzo, Riccioli, & Paci, 2019).
  • How is palm oil reprocessed?
  • The first step of crude palm oil and palm kernel oil physical refining is the degumming, which consists of the removal of the phosphatides. When this content is low, as is the case for these oils, the dry degumming is the common way.
