  • What is palm kernel oil extraction?
  • A food grade solvent known as hexane is used to extract the remaining 5% – 6% of residual crude palm oil (CPO) available in palm-pressed fibre, thereby enhancing oil extraction rate (OER) by 0.5%. Palm Kernel Oil Extraction (PKOE) Plant, is designed to extract the oil from kernel cake by means of solvent. This shall extract an additional 3% PKO.
  • What is palm fibre oil extraction plant?
  • Palm Fibre Oil Extraction Plant, a plant designed and equipped to extract the residual oil from palm-pressed fibre by means of solvent. A food grade solvent known as hexane is used to extract the remaining 5% – 6% of residual crude palm oil (CPO) available in palm-pressed fibre, thereby enhancing oil extraction rate (OER) by 0.5%.
  • Can enzymes improve the extraction of palm oil?
  • The application of enzymes to improve the extraction of palm oil has been studied (Sel 2015). In this study, the cellulose-based enzymes produced by Novozymes such as CTec2, HTec2 and Pectinex were used to break down the cellulosic structure of the palm fruit mesocarp.
  • How to improve the sustainability of palm oil production?
  • The global demand for palm oil will continue to rise, owing to the growing population and economy. Presently, tremendous efforts have been devoted to improving the sustainability of palm oil production. One strategy is to improve the oil extraction rate (OER) during the milling process.
  • How is palm oil extracted?
  • Palm oil is extracted from fresh fruit bunches (FFB) by a mechanical process, where a mill commonly handles 2.5 to 150 MT per hour of FFB. The quality of crude palm oil depends on the care taken after harvesting, particularly in the handling of the FFBs and the process adopted.
