  • 30-500t/d palm kernel oil fractionation plant in saudi arabia
  • What is palm kernel oil fractioning process?
  • The palm kernel oil fractioning process involves two main steps: crystallization and filtration. During crystallization, the palm oil¡¯s triglycerides melt at different temperatures, fractioning the oil into liquid and solid components. The character of the crystals produced depends on the temperature, time and agitation used during the process.
  • 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.
  • Does fractionated palm kernel oil contain saturated fat?
  • Fractionated palm kernel oil contains a higher percentage of saturated fat than normal palm kernel oil. Due to processing methods, fractionated palm kernel oil may contain varying levels of saturated fat, making it difficult for consumers to know exactly what they¡¯re eating.
  • 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 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.
  • How is palm kernel oil processed?
  • Due to its particular triacylglycerol composition, palm kernel oil cannot be easily processed with a classical dry fractionation technology, and panning and pressing was for a long time the only alternative to solvent or detergent fractionation. In this process, the palm kernel oil is poured in pans and stored in cold rooms to crystallize.
