Palm Oil, Palm Kernel Oil Process - Fractions, Derivatives and Product Uses
One of our previous infographics looked at an overview of the complexity in the palm oil / palm kernel oil supply chain. RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) certified oil still remains a market niche (16% of total palm oil production now RSPO certified); keeping physical oil separated from non certified oil can be very difficult and impossible depending on where you are based and the types of process and products used. If the world just used crude palm oil, tracing physical sustainable palm oil would be simpler. We now delve a little deeper into the supply chain, identifying the various processes along the supply chain. Included are examples of product applications with a key that describes the various products and processes e.g Fractionation, Hydrogenation, distillation, IE Palm Stearin, RBD Palm Kernel Stearin, Emulsifier etc. The product examples we provide do not cover all individual products that palm or palm kernel oil are used in. All main refinery processes are covered; however further blending and manufacturing processes do take place passed what is shown in this graphic.

- 3. Mill Process Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFBs) are sterilized and stripped. The fruit is pressed to separate the oil from the ‘cake’ (a mixture of kernel and fibre). The oil is then purified and clarified. Crushing The kernel is cracked to remove the palm kernel shell (Palm Kernel Expeller or PKE) and the kernel is crushed and pressed to produce Palm Kernel Oil or PKO. Refining (RBD: Refinined, Bleached & Deodorised) Oil is refined to remove colour, odour and flavour. Fractionation Liquid Palm Olein and solid Palm Stearin are separated. This is achieved by using crystallisation techniques followed by a membrane filter process. Interesterification (IE) Oils are reformulated to produce different properties. Carbon chains are separated from the glycerine anchor and reattached in a different formation to create oils with improved properties for specific uses in the food industry. Hydrogenation A means of increasing the melting point of oils using Hydrogen gas. Glycerolysis The process of creating emulsifiers by adding glycerine. Emulsifiers facilitate the mixture of oil and water. Distillation A method of separating mixtures based on differences in volatility of components in a liquid mixture.
