Palm Olein Introduction
Palm Olein is the liquid fraction, which is obtained by the fractionation of palm oil after crystallization at controlled temperatures. It is the most widely used edible oil in the world, appreciated for its versatile uses in different forms of cooking and various industrial processes.
Palm Oil History
Palm oil has a history spanning over 5,000 years, with archaeological finds showing its use in ancient Egypt. In the 19th century, palm oil became a popular trade item on its own account, particularly for the industries of Europe. Demand for this material rose sharply during the Industrial Revolution for candle making, lubricants, and, later on, in food.
Cultivation Regions
Basically, palm oil grows in the tropical regions near the equator, as this is where the climate is suitable for the growth of the oil palm tree. Major cultivation areas include:
Malaysia and Indonesia: These two countries account for over 85% of the world's palm oil production.
Nigeria: It is one of the biggest producers in Africa, and has a big stake in the world market.
Thailand and Colombia: Up and coming players in the palm oil industry, who are good at doing this sustainably.
Production Process of Palm Olein
A number of processes are involved in producing Palm Olein.
Harvesting: Oil palm trees are harvested to collect fresh fruit bunches (FFBs).
Sterilization: The FFBs are sterilized using steam to inactivate enzymes so as to prevent spoil.
Threshing: The fruitlets are removed from.
Extraction: The oil is removed from the fruitlets by pressing under mechanical presses.
Clarification: The extracted oil is clarified to get rid of impurities.
Fractionation: The clarified oil is subjected to fractionation to separate liquid Palm Olein from solid palm stearin.
