  • How is palm oil fractionated?
  • Palm oil was fractionated by dry fractionation method to collect the olein and stearin fractions. The physical chemical characteristics of fractions were determined by acid value, saponification value, peroxide value, and iodine value parameters that measured by titrimetry method.
  • Is palm oil production a sustainable solution?
  • relevance of palm oil production are now defining issues in responsible trade. The life cycle assessment (LCA) study on refined palm oil (RPO) and its fractionated products part of the sustainable solution provided by the Malaysian palm oil industry. The study was conducted accord
  • Can continuous dry fractionation be used on palm oil?
  • Recent developments in continuous dry fractionation have shown serious advantages when applied on palm oil. Moreover, it could reduce the negative emotional associations of food products containing insect ingredients as consumers often have negative feelings like ‘disgust’ when consuming such products (Mancini, Moruzzo, Riccioli, & Paci, 2019).
  • What are the products of statolizer fractionation of palm kernel oil?
  • Consequently, the two steps Statolizer fractionation of palm kernel oil results in the following three products: a palm kernel stearin IV ∼4 (for direct use as CBS), a palm kernel stearin IV ∼7 (for use as CBS after full hydrogenation), and a palm kernel olein IV ∼27.
  • 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.
  • Can palm oil be refined?
  • In the case of palm oil, the DOBI is a good indicator of its capability to be successfully refined. Beside commodities, especially refined oils open a market for new high quality products like red palm oil with high vitamin content or physically refined palm oil with optimized tocopherol and tocotrienols contents.
