However, the crude palm oil that has been extracted contains unwanted impurities and requires a refining process to partially or eliminate them to produce edible oil. In the current scenario, palm oil is widely used in tropical countries in South East Asia, Africa, and parts of Brazil for cooking purposes.
How is refined palm oil produced?
To produce refined palm oil (RPO), the objectionable impurities in the CPO are removed to obtain the required levels using two main methods: chemical or alkali refining and physical refining methods. Either of these is followed by fractionation as a final purification process to separate the oil into stearin and olein components.
What is crude palm oil refining?
To prevent iron oxidation, the storage tank is lined in a suitable protective coating. The oil at this stage is called the crude palm oil (CPO). The aim of refining is to convert the CPO to quality edible oil by removal of objectionable impurities to the desired levels in the most efficient manner.
What machinery is used to refine palm oil?
Hence, here is a table showing machinery used to refine palm oil: A neutralizer works to reduce the free fatty acid (FFA) content in crude palm oil (CPO), improving its quality for various applications. This is achieved through a chemical reaction with an alkaline solution.
