The Products of the Oil Palm and Their Extraction

  • What is palm kernel extraction?
  • Palm kernel extraction is a specialised operation undertaken by a completely different set of processors. They are usually better organized as a group and are not as dispersed as palm oil processors. The kernel processors have to go around the palm oil processors during the peak season, when prices are lowest, to purchase the nuts for drying.
  • How is palm oil extracted?
  • Periodically, the shells are scooped out of the bath and discarded. The traditional oil extraction method is to fry palm kernels in old oil or simply heat the dried nuts. The fried kernels are then pounded or ground to a paste in a motorised grinder. The paste is mixed with a small quantity of water and heated to release the palm kernel oil.
  • How are crushed palm kernels extracted?
  • Crushed palm kernels are extracted in the second stage from which the PKM results (Sharmila et al., 2014). Several strategies are used in palm kernel oil extraction that generate the high-protein PKM, such as mechanical extraction, solvent extraction, prepressing followed by protein extraction, as well as hydrothermal techniques.
  • What happens if a palm kernel is broken?
  • This increase, however, will lead to some complication in the process. In the first place, the increased pressure will crack the kernel and damage the perforated cage. Secondly, the kernel oil may be expressed from the broken kernels into palm oil. This will lead to contamination and deterioration of the crude palm oil quality.
