  • Can enzymes improve the extraction of palm oil?
  • The application of enzymes to improve the extraction of palm oil has been studied (Sel 2015). In this study, the cellulose-based enzymes produced by Novozymes such as CTec2, HTec2 and Pectinex were used to break down the cellulosic structure of the palm fruit mesocarp.
  • What is the best enzyme mixture for aqueous enzymatic oil extraction?
  • This study aims to characterize oil palm fruit mesocarp and formulate best enzyme mixture for aqueous enzymatic oil extraction. The fresh oil palm fruits (Elaeis guineensis) and mass passing to digester (MPD) samples were kindly provided by Sime Darby East Palm Oil Mill, Carey Island, Selangor and were kept frozen prior to use.
  • How can Malaysia improve the oil extraction rate?
  • One strategy is to improve the oil extraction rate (OER) during the milling process. The average OER in Malaysia has remained stagnant between 19 and 21% for the past 40 years. Based on the world production of palm oil in 2018, approximately 3 million tonnes of additional palm oil can be produced globally with a 1% increase in OER.
  • How to select enzymes for oil extraction?
  • Selection of the enzymes solely depends on the structure of the oilseed and the composition of the cell wall. Studies reveal an enzyme to substrate ratio of 1% to 8%, the temperature of 40 to 55 ◦C, and a pH of 4 to 8 to be typical for enzymatic extraction of oil from different oilseeds.
  • Is aeoep a good alternative to palm oil extraction?
  • AEOEP is certainly an alternative way for palm oil extraction being an environmentally friendly process. The microscopic characteristics of AEOEP fibre studied using TEM shown an obvious enzyme degradation on mesocarp cell wall.
  • How to improve the sustainability of palm oil production?
  • The global demand for palm oil will continue to rise, owing to the growing population and economy. Presently, tremendous efforts have been devoted to improving the sustainability of palm oil production. One strategy is to improve the oil extraction rate (OER) during the milling process.
