  • Can small scale palm oil processing be used in West and Central Africa?
  • Sophisticated large scale technologies, on the other hand, are generally beyond the financial reach of the rural population. The present review aims at throwing more light on a third option: small scale or intermediate technologies for palm oil processing in West and Central Africa.
  • What is a typical palm oil milling process flow?
  • The typical palm oil milling process flow is best described through a series of activities conducted in different stations (Figure 2). It all begins with the transportation of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) from plantation sites to the palm oil mills.
  • How do palm oil mills work?
  • It all begins with the transportation of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) from plantation sites to the palm oil mills. The milling operation includes several stages, namely reception, sterilization, threshing, digestion and pressing, clarification and purification, and kernel recovery.
  • How does a palm oil mill process FFB?
  • FFB delivered to the palm oil mill undergo inspection and grading for ripeness and quality standards before being loaded onto ramp hoppers and cages. These cages are transported into a horizontal sterilizer and subjected to steam heating at 143°C and 3 bar gauge pressure for approximately 90 minutes, in a process known as sterilization .
  • What are the critical aspects of palm oil sustainability?
  • This review highlights the critical aspects of palm oil sustainability, processing, and utilization. Palm oil processing involves several key steps, including harvesting, sterilization, threshing, pressing, and refining. These processes are crucial for maintaining the quality and extending the application range of palm oil.
  • What is crude palm oil?
  • Palm oil is produced from oil palm fruits, Elaeis guineensis Jaq., and the extracted oil is known as crude palm oil (CPO) . The fresh fruit bunch (FFB) process line from the estate to the mill steriliser includes several handling steps. Each handling step incurs FFB bruising and contributes to the accumulation of free fatty acids (FFAs).
