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.
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.
Where does palm oil come from?
Highest levels were found in palm oil from Malaysia and Indonesia while much lower in palm oil from Ghana and Columbia (different soil and climate conditions, use of different fertilizers, and different handling procedures after harvesting).
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.
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 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.
