  • What type of oil is extracted from a palm tree?
  • Two types of oil are extracted from the fruit of the palm tree: red crude palm oil from the mesocarp and palm yellow crude kernel oil from the endosperm, each of which has a distinct composition . Mesocarp oil is primarily used for edible purposes, whereas palm kernel oil has applications in the oleochemical industry .
  • How can the oil palm industry improve economic and ecological outcomes?
  • Future research should address recent innovations in the oil palm sector that have the potential to enhance both economic and ecological outcomes. For instance, mechanization could reduce labor costs and improve working conditions ( 1 ), while also reducing labor shortages, which are currently a major problem in the industry.
  • How is palm oil extracted?
  • The extraction of palm oil from oil palm fruits is practiced in many countries in Africa. The technologies for these processes are, in most cases, either still traditional or very modern. Traditional technologies usually have the advantage of requiring low investments, but are labour-intensive, inefficient and time-consuming.
  • 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.
  • How much oil is extracted from palm kernels?
  • The oil palm produces bunches containing many fruits with the fleshy mesocarp enclosing a kernel that is covered by a very hard shell. The FAO considers palm oil (coming from the pulp) and palm kernels to be primary products. The oil extraction rate from a bunch varies from 17 to 27% for palm oil, and from 4 to 10% for palm kernels.
  • How is palm oil produced in Ghana?
  • Artisanal production of palm oil is common in Ghana, providing a key staple food stuff in most traditional cooking. Palm oil is traditionally, and still industrially, produced by milling the fruits of oil palm. Besides milling, palm oil is produced by cold-pressing the fruit of the oil palm since the 1990s.
