  • How is palm oil processed?
  • Palm oil processing involves several key steps, including harvesting, sterilization, threshing, pressing, and refining. These processes are crucial for maintaining the quality and extending the application range of palm oil. The refining process removes unwanted compounds while preserving beneficial components such as tocopherols.
  • What are the challenges of palm oil cultivation?
  • The great challenge of oilseed cultivation, especially oil palm cultivation, is to sustainably meet the global demand for this raw material while mitigating its environmental and social impacts. 7. Conclusions This review highlights the critical aspects of palm oil sustainability, processing, and utilization.

  • What is palm downstream?
  • Our Palm Downstream division ensures smooth upstream operations by securing a definite intake of Crude Palm Oil (CPO) for downstream activities. These activities involve transforming CPO and Palm Kernel (PK) into high-value offerings like oleo chemicals, biodiesel, oils, fats, and Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG).
  • What products use palm oil?
  • A high percentage of the products sold at supermarkets use palm oil in their formulation. These products include margarine, confectionery, ready-to-eat meals, food snacks, chocolate, ice cream, bakery products, and nonfood products such as soap, candles, and cosmetics .
  • Why is refining palm oil important?
  • The processing of palm oil, from fruit pulp to refined oil, is detailed, highlighting the importance of refining in maintaining quality and extending application ranges. While palm oil offers health benefits because of its rich fatty acid composition and antioxidant properties, its production poses significant environmental challenges.
