  • Why do Nigerian refineries use palm kernel oil?
  • More than 60% of refineries in Nigeria are built on palm kernel oil as raw materials. This is because processing of palm kernel oil involves degumming, bleaching, deodorization, cooling, and packaging. This product is liquid at ambient conditions except during the rainy season when the product congeals due to low temperatures (<20°C).
  • 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.
  • Why was unfractionated refined palm oil not marketable in Nigeria?
  • Unfractionated refined palm oil was not marketable to industrial end users in Nigeria hence the boom in the smuggling of refined bleached and deodorized palm olein from Malaysia and Singapore and the extraction of palm kernel oil for household frying.
  • Is palm olein tainted in Nigeria?
  • Presently, crude palm oil is imported for refining in Nigeria, although some quantities of refined bleached and deodorized palm olein are being disguised as crude palm oil and acid oils. Sometimes RBD palm olein is tainted with about 0.03% of crude palm olein and imported into the country as crude palm oil.
