In 2021, the production of palm oil in Venezuela amounted to 8 thousand metric tons, same figure recorded since 2018. Get notified via email when this statistic is updated.
What is the difference between crude palm and palm kernel oil?
The quality of fully refined palm and palm kernel oils is completely inseparable from the quality of the crude oils. As said before, the high acidity of crude palm and palm kernel oils places physical refining as the first option.
Can palm kernel oil be processed?
Crude, degummed bleached, or fully refined palm kernel oils can be processed with this technology (Calliauw et al., 2005) (Table 12-M). The saturated fatty acid content is increased from ∼80% in the palm kernel oil to 93–96% in the palm kernel stearins; the lauric and myristic fatty acid contents go up to 80%.
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.
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 are the characteristics of palm kernel oil?
The main feature of palm kernel oil is its difficulty for being dry fractionated under classical conditions. Up to short time, solvent, detergent and/or panning and pressing technologies were the only possibilities to achieve high yield and high quality CBS.
