Crude Palm oil making process | How to make crude Palm oil

Oil Palm India Limited was established in the year 1977 with the objective of propagating oil palm cultivation in the country and more particularly in Kerala. From 1983 onwards the Company started functioning as a joint venture of the Government of Kerala and Government of India with share participation of oil palm plantations spread over in Kollam District of Kerala. As a part of diversification we have ventured into rice production, retail marketing of products like RBD palm oil, rice, rice bran oil, lamp oil, etc. What is Palm Oil Palm oil is also known as palm fruit oil. Palm oil is said to be nature’s gift to the world. Consumed for more than 5,000 years, its nutritional value, health benefits and value as a natural resource continue to be discovered even today.Palm oil is produced from the fruit of the oil palm tree Elaeis guineensis. Oil palm is the only fruit that can give two types of oil. Since it is a vegetable oil; not an animal or dairy product, and therefore does not contain cholesterol. Palm oil is sometimes confused with palm kernel oil, but in fact it is quite different compositionally. Palm oil comes from the mesocarp (flesh of the fruit) and the lauric palm kernel oil from the kernel at the fruit’s core. The two oils are separated in the oil palm bunches by the thick shell of palm kernels. Palm oil is physically refined without the use of chemical solvents, thereby reducing the risk of residue contamination. Palm oil itself is reddish because it contains a high amount of betacarotene. It is used as cooking oil, to make margarine and is a component of many processed foods. Boiling it for a few minutes destroys the carotenoids and the oil becomes white. Palm oil is one of the few vegetable oils relatively high in saturated fats (such as coconut oil) and thus semi-solid at room temperature. Previously the second-most widely produced edible oil, after soybean oil, 28 million metric tons were produced worldwide in 2004. It may have now surpassed soybean oil as the most widely produced vegetable oil in the world. Since its introduction, oil palm is now a leading agricultural crop. Increased planting, cultivation and refinement have led to the introduction of a wide range of processed palm oil products. Today, palm fruit oil and palm oil products are used in many food and non-food applications. They can be used for frying media and for making margarines, shortenings, soap, oleo chemicals and other products. PALM OIL CHEMICAL COMPOSITION-PALM KERNEL-OLEIN Palm kernel oil is obtained from the kernel of the oil palm fruit. The oil composition is very different from that of the palm oil. Palm kernel oil contains 48.2% Lauric acid, 16.2% Myristic acid, 8.4% palmitic, 3.4% Capric, 3.3% Caprylic, 2.5% Stearic (saturated fatty acid), 15.3% Oleic (monounsaturated fatty acid), 2.3% Linoleic (polyunsaturated fatty acid), and 0.4% other acids The approximate concentration of fatty acids (FAs) in palm kernel oil is as follows: Fatty acid content of palm kernel oil Type of fatty acid Percent Lauric C12 48.2% Myristic C14 16.2% Palmitic C16 8.4% Capric C10 3.4% Caprylic C8 3.3% Stearic C18 2.5% Oleic C18 15.3% Linoleic C18 2.3% Others 0.4% green: Saturated blue : Mono unsaturated orange: Poly unsaturated Oil Palm is the richest source of oil. While Oil Palm can give around 3 to 5 Tons of oil per hectare, the yield per hectare of oil seeds like ground nut, sun flower, soyabeen etc. would come to about 1 ton only. The cultivation of Oil Palm is commercially very much viable in comparison with other commercial crops like Rubber, Coconut etc. PALM OIL OR PALMOLEIN is the oil produced from the red oil palm tree(Elaeis Guineensis). Palm Oil is extracted from the pulpy portion (mesocarp) of the fruit of Oil Palm. The Crude Palm Oil is deep orange red in colour and is semi solid at a temperature of 20 degree centigrade. Palm Oil contains an equal proportion of saturated and unsaturated fatty acid containing about 1-40% oleic acid, 10% linoleic acid. 44% palmitic acid and 5% stearic acid. The unprocessed palm oil is used for cooking in various countries. Palm Oil is a very rich source of Beta Carotene, an important source of Vitamin A and it contains Tecopherols and Tocotrienols, a natural source of Vitamin E. Kernel Oil Extraction Mill The Company has set up a Kernel Oil Factory on an investment of about Rs.2.5 crores for the extraction of Palm Kernel Oil at Yeroor. Annual production of Kernel Oil comes to about 800 Metric Tonnes. For any product or business related enquires please contact Call. 0481 2567103, 2567104, 2566882, https://www.oilpalmindia.com Email.
