Prospects of Palm Fruit Extraction Technology: Palm Oil

  • 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 palm oil extracted?
  • In the ‘wet’ process a liquid, usually water, is used to extract the oil from the milled palm fruits. Hot water or steam is used to leach out the oil from ruptured oily cells of the palm fruits. The hot water treatment also hydrolyzes gums, resins and any starch present as well as coagulates proteins.
  • What are the basic operations associated with palm oil processing?
  • The basic unit operations associated with palm oil processing include fruit sterilization, fruit loosening/stripping, digestion, oil extraction and clarification. Fruit sterilization denotes heat rendering and moisture absorption. The aim is to inactivate the lipolytic enzymes in the fruit mesocarp.
  • What are the different methods of palm oil processing?
  • They are the traditional methods, small-scale mechanical units, medium-scale mills and large industrial mills (Poku, 2002). The basic unit operations associated with palm oil processing include fruit sterilization, fruit loosening/stripping, digestion, oil extraction and clarification.
