  • What type of oil does palm fruit produce?
  • Palm fruit produces two distinct types of oils: crude palm oil (CPO) from the mesocarp and palm kernel oil (PKO) from the inside kernel ( Gourichon, 2013, Robbelen, 1990 ). Both CPO and PKO are important in world trade ( Schroeder, Becker, & Skibsted, 2006 ). In 2012, CPO and PKO accounted for 32% of global fats and oils production.
  • What are the basic operations associated with palm oil processing?
  • The basic unit operations associated with palm oil processing include fruit sterilization, fruit loosening/stripping, digestion, oil extraction and clarification. Fruit sterilization denotes heat rendering and moisture absorption. The aim is to inactivate the lipolytic enzymes in the fruit mesocarp.
  • What are the different methods of palm oil processing?
  • They are the traditional methods, small-scale mechanical units, medium-scale mills and large industrial mills ( Poku, 2002 ). The basic unit operations associated with palm oil processing include fruit sterilization, fruit loosening/stripping, digestion, oil extraction and clarification.
  • How is palm oil extracted?
  • In the ¡®wet¡¯ process a liquid, usually water, is used to extract the oil from the milled palm fruits. Hot water or steam is used to leach out the oil from ruptured oily cells of the palm fruits. The hot water treatment also hydrolyzes gums, resins and any starch present as well as coagulates proteins.
