  • Are palm kernels a coproduct of palm oil production?
  • Palm kernels are a coproduct of palm oil production, and as opposed to palm fruit, the kernels can be stored after they have been dried. This means that palm oil has to be produced at or near the plantation and that palm kernel oil production can be centralized. When the fresh fruit bunch (FFB) reaches the oil plant, it is sterilized with steam.
  • What is palm fruit & palm kernel oil?
  • Palm fruit or palm kernel for edible oil has been processed in Africa for thousands of years, and the oil produced, highly colored and fragrant, is an essential ingredient in one of the traditional African cuisine. Mechanical extraction processes are suitable for both small, medium and large capacity operations. The basic steps are :
  • How are palm kernels processed?
  • An inbuilt stirrer is used to homogenize the solution. After separation, the kernels are wet and hence need to be dried before being sent to the pressing unit. For this, we use hot Air driers that run either on manual burning of firewood / shells in a furnace or using a steam boiler. The palm kernels are subjected to cleaning in a seed cleaner.
