  • Can process technologies improve the quality of palm oil produced?
  • However, the process technologies and the quality of palm oil produced have remained stagnant for the past decades. This paper reviews the latest development in the process technologies that can be applied in the palm oil milling process to improve the sustainability and efficiency of palm oil production, as well as the quality of the oil produced.
  • How do palm oil mills extract CPO?
  • Two common methods to extract CPO by the mills are either using a dry or wet process. The most common method used is the wet process which involves a large amount of water and steam in the process to remove dirt and to sterilize the fruit bunch in different steps, thus generating a high volume of effluent termed as palm oil mill effluent (POME).
  • How is crude palm oil extracted?
  • The first stage of crude palm oil extraction is the sterilization or steaming process (Hashim et al. 2012). The fresh fruit bunches are exposed to high-temperature pressurized steam at 140 °C for 75¨C90 min to deactivate the natural hydrolytic enzymes which breakdown oil to free fatty acids.
  • How is palm oil processed?
  • The fruit bunches are then transported to the processing facility for further processing. Extraction: The fruit bunches are sterilized, threshed, and pressed to extract the crude palm oil. This process involves a combination of mechanical and chemical processes and can vary depending on the specific equipment and techniques used.
