  • What is chemical refining of palm oil?
  • When starting with very good quality crude palm oil (low FFA and high DOBI), chemical refining is able to purify the oil so effectively that the bleaching step can be skipped or performed with very small amounts of non-activated bleaching earths or with silica.
  • How is palm oil processed?
  • There are two major processing methods known as chemical and physical refining. Palm oil is by far the most important fractionated oil in the world; crude, semi- and fully refined palm oil can be fractionated in multi-stage, giving access to several products for specific applications.
  • 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.
  • What are the components of crude palm oil?
  • Source: Desmet Ballestra Group (2011). The minor components in crude palm oil have extensively been reviewed by Berger (2000). Beside partial acylclycerols and free fatty acids (FFA), the remaining components consist in a multitude of chemical entities with actual or potential commercial value, known as phytonutrients.
  • What is a dry fractionation plant?
  • A dry fractionation plant consists of a series of crystallizers operating independently and interconnected with one or more high pressure membrane press filters. Crystallization is performed with successive steps of melting, nucleation, and crystal growth. Crystal shape and size are principally determined by the way the oil is cooled and agitated.
  • Can palm oil be refined?
  • In the case of palm oil, the DOBI is a good indicator of its capability to be successfully refined. Beside commodities, especially refined oils open a market for new high quality products like red palm oil with high vitamin content or physically refined palm oil with optimized tocopherol and tocotrienols contents.
