  • Is palm fibre available in Nigeria?
  • Palm fibre is readily available in most parts of Nigeria as Nigeria is one of the largest producers of palm oil in the world, with an estimated production of 1.4 million metric tons in the year 2022 . ... ... In palm oil refinery, palm oil mill sludge (POMS) is the solid residue of palm oil mill effluent.
  • Why do Nigerian refineries use palm kernel oil?
  • More than 60% of refineries in Nigeria are built on palm kernel oil as raw materials. This is because processing of palm kernel oil involves degumming, bleaching, deodorization, cooling, and packaging. This product is liquid at ambient conditions except during the rainy season when the product congeals due to low temperatures (<20°C).
  • What are the products of statolizer fractionation of palm kernel oil?
  • Consequently, the two steps Statolizer fractionation of palm kernel oil results in the following three products: a palm kernel stearin IV ¡«4 (for direct use as CBS), a palm kernel stearin IV ¡«7 (for use as CBS after full hydrogenation), and a palm kernel olein IV ¡«27.
  • Is palm olein tainted in Nigeria?
  • Presently, crude palm oil is imported for refining in Nigeria, although some quantities of refined bleached and deodorized palm olein are being disguised as crude palm oil and acid oils. Sometimes RBD palm olein is tainted with about 0.03% of crude palm olein and imported into the country as crude palm oil.
  • Why was unfractionated refined palm oil not marketable in Nigeria?
  • Unfractionated refined palm oil was not marketable to industrial end users in Nigeria hence the boom in the smuggling of refined bleached and deodorized palm olein from Malaysia and Singapore and the extraction of palm kernel oil for household frying.
  • Can continuous dry fractionation be used on palm oil?
  • Recent developments in continuous dry fractionation have shown serious advantages when applied on palm oil. Moreover, it could reduce the negative emotional associations of food products containing insect ingredients as consumers often have negative feelings like ¡®disgust¡¯ when consuming such products (Mancini, Moruzzo, Riccioli, & Paci, 2019).
