Palm Oil Processing(Sterilization)

Palm Oil Processing(Sterilization)

Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) are sent to fermentation tank through transportation machinery after sieving and impurities removing. The time from picking up to fermentation should be less than 24 hours, or the free fatty acid(FFA) will rise, which will not be conductive for further processing and production of palm oil from palm oil processing machine.

Fermentation

FFB will pass high pressure and high temperature sterilization after enteringfermentation tank. Using direct steam to process palm fruit, It will soft and make sterilization for FFB，which can reduce activity of the enzyme,prevent the rancidity, ensure the good quality of the crude palm oil.  

Sterilization as the first step in palm fruit pressing is critical to the quality of the final production-- palm oil. The purpose of sterilization process is inactivate the activity of lipase and prevent the rise of free fatty acids;  make the palm fruit easier to fall off from the fruit bunch; and soften the peel and make the oil easier to separate out.  Continuous sterilization process improved efficiency and reduces labor and energy consumption.
