Sterilization is a process where the fruit bunches are cooked under steam pressure. Cooking is normally carried out under 3 bar pressure (45 pounds per square inch – psi) for approximately 90 minutes. The sterilization serves several purposes: Heat treatment destroys oil-splitting enzymes and arrests hydrolysis and auto-oxidation and also kill the yeast in raw […]

Process for the production of virgin palm oil using the cold-press extraction method. 2.3. Design of Experiment for the Sterilization Oil Palm Fruits. The influence of oil palm fruit sterilization on the yield (wt.%) and FFA content was determined with varying sterilizing time (min), temperature (°C), and amount of fruits (kg).

ABSCISSION OF OIL PALM UPON RIPENING Oil palm is a sessile drupe; it produces a bunch containing 1000 to 3000 oil palm fruits. Oil deposition in the mesocarp starts at about 15 weeks after pollination (WAP) and continues until fruit maturity at around 20-22 WAP (Sambanthamurthi et al., 2000; Teh et al., 2013).

The sterilization method utilised also affects process performance and quality of palm oil. The good bleachability of palm oil necessitates a proper air-release prior to sterilization, shortest possible sterilizing time and lowest possible process temperature. Conventionally, in a palm oil mill plant the sterilization process is carried out in

Optimisation of sterilisation process for oil palm fresh

At only 10% oil yield from a palm tree, this growth leads to an excess of palm oil by-products in Malaysia. From mill operations alone, palm oil mill effluent (POME) and empty fruit bunch (EFB

Sterilization of oil palm fruit is the process eliminating lipase activities in palm oil production. It is normally carried out in batch mode using pressurized steam of 3 kg/cm 2 with a temperature of 140 °C [1]. The oil palm fruits are fed into several sterilizer cages prior to sterilization and continuously extracting the palm oil.

Minimizing water consumption in oil palm sterilization using

• Raw Material: palm

• Power ( W): according to capacity
• Voltage: 380V or 440 V
• Dimension (L*W*H): according to capacity
• Weight: according to capacity

The most important stage of the palm oil mill process is sterilization. The purpose of sterilization is to soften the palm bunches to release palm fruits from the bunch, inactivate enzymes to stop forming FFA, remove moisture content from the bunch, and overall facilitate palm oil extraction (Ngando Ebongue et al., 2006; Afolabi Morakinyo and Issac Bamgboye, 2017; Hock et al., 2020).

Sterilisation in palm oil mills is considered a pre-treatment process as it affects stripping efficiency and oil quality. Although sterilisation technology has been well-established in the palm oil milling industry, the roles and principles of sterilisation, particularly related to the chemical changes in fruits and stalks occurring during the process, have been rarely reported.
