  • What is the extraction rate of palm oil?
  • The typical crude palm oil extraction rate (OER) during the milling process is in the region of 18?23% by weight to FFB, while the palm kernel extraction rate (KER) ranges between 4 and 6%. The simplified palm oil extraction process is shown in Fig. 8.3. The basic quality parameters for palm products are tabulated in Table 8-B. Fig. 8.3.
  • How is palm oil extracted?
  • Under high temperature and pressure, the oil-bearing cell of the fruits will break to release the oil and a screw press machine is used to enhance the extraction process. Hot water is added during this process to enhance the oil mixture product known as crude palm oil.
  • How to improve the sustainability of palm oil production?
  • The global demand for palm oil will continue to rise, owing to the growing population and economy. Presently, tremendous efforts have been devoted to improving the sustainability of palm oil production. One strategy is to improve the oil extraction rate (OER) during the milling process.
  • Does palm oil ripeness affect oil extraction rate?
  • The FFB received at palm oil mills is graded for ripeness and other criteria that may affect the milling process and oil extraction rate (OER). However, there is no estimate of the oil or kernel content of the FFB received nor of fiber levels or other components such as ash that may reduce the extraction rates in the mill.
