  • How is palm kernel oil refined?
  • Palm kernel oil refining involves the following steps: Neutralization with NaOH (alkaline refining) for minutes to neutralize the oil. Then, the crude palm kernel oil is settled and decanted. The upper part is the washed oil, while the lower part is distilled water.
  • How is refined palm oil produced?
  • To produce refined palm oil (RPO), the objectionable impurities in the CPO are removed to obtain the required levels using two main methods: chemical or alkali refining and physical refining methods. Either of these is followed by fractionation as a final purification process to separate the oil into stearin and olein components.
  • Why is palm kernel oil better than crude oil?
  • Due to high acidity and relatively low phosphatide content, palm and palm kernel oil are generally physically refined, which is preferred to the chemical process. The quality of the crude oils has to be considered as it can greatly affect the efficiency of the refining process.
  • 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 crude palm oil refining?
  • To prevent iron oxidation, the storage tank is lined in a suitable protective coating. The oil at this stage is called the crude palm oil (CPO). The aim of refining is to convert the CPO to quality edible oil by removal of objectionable impurities to the desired levels in the most efficient manner.
  • Does palm kernel oil reduce non-glycerides?
  • This work aimed at reducing the non-glycerides present in crude palm kernel oil using an alkali method of refining. The refining of crude palm kernel oil was the focus of this research project.
