  • How is palm oil quality controlled?
  • As an important resource for human food industries, palm oil quality is controlled by government and palm oil private sectors by implementing systematic assurance systems that follow international standards such as Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), ISO 9001 and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) (MPOB, 2007; Nazir et al., 2012).
  • What is a crude palm oil (CPO) industry?
  • A Crude Palm Oil (CPO) industry needs quality control and assurance to win the competition. In reality, there are products that do not meet the company standards. It can be seen from the measurement of several indicators that exist in this CPO industry such as Free Fatty Acid (FFA) level, moisture and dirt level.
  • Can palm oil be monitored for quality control?
  • There are many stages during its production where palm oil can be monitored for quality control (QC) purposes. Near-infrared spectroscopy is a method that can be used not only for QC during palm oil production, but – very importantly – also for companies that procure palm oil and need to assess its quality before using it in other products.
  • How can the palm industry ensure the safety and quality of palm products?
  • By embedding rigorous standards, fostering partnerships, and embracing technological advancements, the industry can ensure the safety and quality of palm products while working with food and drink manufacturers to uphold the highest standards and meet the evolving demands of consumers worldwide.
  • How to obtain high quality palm oil product?
  • To obtain high quality palm oil product, the process is strictly supervised since the plantation stage. The very first step is to maintain the quality of seedlings by performing cross-pollination of selected parent palms. Generally, there are three different forms of palm fruits namely dura, pisifera and tenera as shown in Figure 7.
  • How to test the quality of palm oil?
  • Sample testing of palm oil quality should meet the food safety requirements, and these includes the FFA content, PV, AV, IV, M&I, DOBI and colour. Machine maintenance: Machine maintenance should be performed regularly to avoid the production loss, product contamination and hazardous situation.
