1: Major manufacturers and designers of palm

  • How are palm kernels extracted?
  • The floating kernels are scooped in baskets, washed with clean water and dried. 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.
  • Where does palm oil come from?
  • The fruit of the palm tree Elaeis guineensis is the source of two distinctively different oil types. Palm oil is obtained from the mesocarp of the palm fruit; the outer pulp contains kernels that are the source of palm kernel oil.
  • What is the difference between FFB and PK in palm oil?
  • In the palm oil industry, fresh fruit bunch (FFB) is first harvested in oil palm plantation and sent to palm oil mill (POM) to produce CPO. On the other hand, the generated palm kernel (PK) is sent to kernel crushing plant for production of crude palm kernel oil (CPKO).
  • What is palm oil processing?
  • 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. The nut processing and oil extraction is undertaken in the dry season when the pressure to obtain raw materials has subsided. The traditional palm oil processing starts with the shelling of the palm nuts.
