  • 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 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 is palm kernel oil used for?
  • Identically, palm kernel oil is a popular feedstock for the formulation of cocoa butter substitutes (CBS) after fractionation and full hydrogenation (deMan & deMan, 1994). The fruit of the palm tree Elaeis guineensis is the source of two distinctively different oil types.
  • Can palm kernel oil be processed?
  • Crude, degummed bleached, or fully refined palm kernel oils can be processed with this technology (Calliauw et al., 2005) (Table 12-M). The saturated fatty acid content is increased from ∼80% in the palm kernel oil to 93–96% in the palm kernel stearins; the lauric and myristic fatty acid contents go up to 80%.
  • What is the difference between crude palm and palm kernel oil?
  • The quality of fully refined palm and palm kernel oils is completely inseparable from the quality of the crude oils. As said before, the high acidity of crude palm and palm kernel oils places physical refining as the first option.
