  • What are the products of palm oil refining process?
  • The products of palm oil refining process are RBD palm oil and PFAD whereas the products of palm oil fractionation process are RBD palm olein and RBD palm stearin. All these products are commercially traded in tonne (mass) basis.
  • What is a palm fractionation plant?
  • THE PALM fractionation plant process involves crystallisation and filtration as shown in Figure 4, where refined, bleached, deodorised palm oil (RBDPO) from the refinery is crystallised through a series of cooling steps and sent to the membrane filter press for separation to obtain olein (liquid oil) and stearin (solid fats).
  • Why is palm oil a fractionated oil?
  • It involves the separation of low and high melting triacylglycerol under controlled cooling conditions into olein and stearin fractions with distinct chemical and physical properties. Amongst the other vegetable oils, palm oil is one of the most fractionated oils in the past few decades mainly attributed to its semisolid properties.
  • What is a fraction of palm oil used for?
  • The various fraction of palm oil allows it to be used in different types of food products such as margarine, frying oil, and cocoa butter substitute. In fractionation, proper control of the fractionation conditions is important to produce the fractions with desirable stearin and olein quality.
