What is a fractionation process for refined palm oil?
Refined palm oil should go through fractionation process to separate solid phases (Stearine) and liquid phases (Olein). It is achieved by thermo-mechanical means. Fractionation can greatly maximize the value of products. Our fractionation project adopts dy fractionation process.
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.
Is palm oil a fractionated oil?
Palm oil is by far the most important fractionated oil in the world ( Kellens et al., 2007 ); crude, semi- and fully refined palm oil can be fractionated in multi-stage, giving access to several products for specific applications [margarines, shortenings, frying fats, cooking oils, salad oils, cocoa butter equivalents (CBE)].
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.
