  • What is palm kernel oil extraction & refining?
  • Palm kernel oil (PKO) extraction and refining techniques involves operations such as sorting of kernels, handling, mechanical pressing, filtration of crude oil, thermal, chemical and physical treatment of crude oil to obtain desired edible oil that suits variety of applications.
  • Can palm Kennel oil be refined using physical refining method?
  • The concept of refining crude palm kennel oil with the aim of reducing the non-glycerides, its colour pigment and odour using physical refining method (activated charcoal) is what this research is about. Carbonized charcoal was subjected to chemical activation process using standard potassium hydroxide for activation (KOH).
  • 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.
  • How is crude palm kernel oil refined?
  • The crude palm kernel oil was refined mainly in three stages namely: the degumming stage, neutralization stage, odour and colour removal stage. The approach adopted was that of where 500ml of crude palm kernel oil put in a separating funnel and 500ml of distilled water at 1000C was added.
