PROCESS FOR MAKING PALM COOKING OIL AND CPO MAKING PROCESS
Summary
TLDRThis video takes viewers through the entire palm oil processing journey, from harvesting fresh fruit bunches (FFB) to producing Crude Palm Oil (CPO) and eventually refined cooking oil. It highlights the key stages, including grading, sterilization, pressing, clarification, and purification, showcasing the technological advancements in Malaysian and Indonesian factories. The video emphasizes the health benefits of palm oil, such as its high levels of vitamins A and E, antioxidant properties, and its use in various industries, from food to cosmetics and even fuel.
Takeaways
- ๐ The video covers the complete palm oil processing journey, from harvesting oil palm fruit to producing cooking oil.
- ๐ Crude palm oil (CPO) has a vibrant orange color due to its high levels of vitamins A and E, contributing to its antioxidant properties.
- ๐ Palm oil helps increase good cholesterol (HDL) in the body, making it a healthy alternative in cooking, especially for frying.
- ๐ Palm oil is heat-resistant, with a high smoke point that allows it to withstand multiple frying cycles with minimal damage.
- ๐ One of the reasons palm oil is favored in frying is that it is tasteless, so it doesnโt alter the flavor of the food.
- ๐ Oil palm fruit consists of two main parts: the outer coir and the inner kernel, which is used to produce palm kernel oil (PKO).
- ๐ After harvesting, palm oil bunches are transported to the mill within 24 hours to ensure optimal oil quality.
- ๐ At the mill, the oil palm bunches are weighed and graded to separate high-quality fruit from rotten or overripe bunches.
- ๐ The sterilization process involves using high-pressure steam to soften the fruit, making it easier to separate from the bunches.
- ๐ In the press station, the palm fruit is crushed to extract crude palm oil (CPO), which is then separated from water and dirt using gravity in a clarification tube.
- ๐ After CPO extraction, the oil undergoes further refining processes such as deodorization, bleaching, and fractionation to produce high-quality cooking oil.
Q & A
What is the first step in the palm oil production process?
-The first step in the palm oil production process is the harvesting of ripe oil palm fruit bunches (FFB), which are then transported to processing factories for grading and further processing.
Why is it important to transport oil palm fruit to the mill within 24 hours?
-Transporting oil palm fruit to the mill within 24 hours ensures the best quality of palm oil. The fruit begins to degrade over time, and delays can impact the final product.
What happens during the grading process of the oil palm bunches?
-During the grading process, the oil palm bunches are sorted based on quality. Workers separate unripe, rotten, or overripe bunches, ensuring that only the best fruit is processed.
What is the purpose of the sterilization process in palm oil production?
-The sterilization process uses high-pressure steam to soften the palm fruit and loosen it from the bunches. This makes it easier to extract the fruit and prepare it for further processing.
How are the fruits separated from the bunches after sterilization?
-After sterilization, the fruits are separated from the bunches in a rotating drum. The fruit is passed through gaps in the drum, while the empty bunches are ejected and removed from the processing plant.
What is the role of the press station in the palm oil production process?
-At the press station, the palm fruit undergoes a two-step process: first, it is crushed to separate the flesh from the seeds; then, it is pressed to extract crude palm oil (CPO), while the remaining press cake is used as fuel for the sterilizer.
What is the function of the CST (Clarification Tube) in the palm oil processing?
-The CST (Clarification Tube) separates oil, water, and dirt by gravity. The lighter oil rises to the surface, where it is drained and collected, while impurities remain at the bottom.
What are the key stages involved in refining crude palm oil (CPO)?
-Crude palm oil (CPO) is refined through deodorization, bleaching, and multi-layer purification processes to remove impurities and improve the quality of the oil.
What is the fractionation process, and why is it important in palm oil production?
-Fractionation is the process of separating palm oil into two fractions: a solid fraction and a liquid fraction. This process improves the oil's quality and can take several hours, with longer fractionation leading to higher-quality oil.
What are some of the industrial uses of crude palm oil (CPO)?
-Crude palm oil (CPO) is used not only in food products such as cooking oil, butter, and shortening, but also in non-food items like lipstick, shampoo, soap, detergents, and even as a fuel for vehicles.
What are some health benefits of palm oil?
-Palm oil is rich in vitamins A and E and has antioxidant properties. It also helps produce high-density lipoprotein (HDL), the 'good' cholesterol, which is beneficial for heart health.
