Palm Kernel Oil: 

The Secret from Fruit to Oil

Palm oil is one of the most important vegetable oils in the world, and palm kernel oil is a high-quality edible oil among its byproducts. Let's take a closer look at the palm kernel oil pressing process, from the separation of palm fruits to the refining of the final product.

Palm Kernel Polishing

First, the palm kernel needs to be polished before pressing. This is to remove the pulp fiber and ensure the smooth progress of the subsequent pressing process.

Kernel Shell Separation

Due to the fact that the palm kernel shell does not contain oil and is hard in texture, direct pressing will damage the oil press. Therefore, kernel shell separation must be performed first. This step includes graded shelling and air separation to ensure that only pure palm kernels enter the pressing process.

Crushing and Embryo Rolling

Due to the large size of palm kernel particles, it needs to be crushed to increase the surface area and shorten the oil path, which is convenient for subsequent embryo rolling and steaming. The embryo rolling process rolls the palm kernel into thin sheets, which is convenient for adjusting moisture and temperature.

Steaming and Frying

The raw embryo after embryo rolling needs to be steamed and fried to make it mature embryo. This step can adjust the moisture and temperature of palm kernels to achieve the best conditions for pressing.

Pressing

The cooked embryos after steaming and frying can finally be pressed. Due to the high hardness of palm kernels, the oil press needs to be properly debugged and modified to ensure the best pressing effect.

Filtration

Finally, the pressed palm kernel oil needs to be filtered through a plate and frame filter to remove impurities and ensure the purity of the oil.

Through this series of process flows, we finally get high-quality palm kernel oil, which is a nutritious edible oil widely used in various food processing and cooking.
