  • How does Alfa Laval produce margarine?
  • Alfa Laval can help. Request a quote The margarine production process consists of five sections: the oil phase with emulsifier preparation, the water phase, the emulsion preparation, pasteurization and crystallization. Any excess production is returned via a continuous rework unit to the emulsion tank.
  • Why is palm oil used in margarine?
  • As palm oil is naturally semi-solid and trans-fat free, it has become the preferred fat in margarine production in many countries. Its semi-solid content is primarily contributed by equal quantities of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids ¨C 50/50 to be exact.
  • How are global margarine markets growing?
  • Global margarine markets are growing and there are 4 main trends that are driving this. In the specialist world of processing crude palm oil, one of the key metrics is the Oil Extraction Rate (OER) ¨C how much oil you can get out of any given batch or harvest.
  • How is palm oil processed?
  • 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. The refining process removes unwanted compounds while preserving beneficial components such as tocopherols.
  • What fatty acid is found in palm oil?
  • The major fatty acid found in palm oil is palmitic acid and this enables palm-based margarines to form good aeration of fat and sugar mixtures ¨C an attribute particularly ideal for making bakery margarines. Its fraction, palm kernel oil, is a suitable raw material for cake-making as it provides great creaming properties 4.
  • How is palm olein processed?
  • Palm olein passes through the membrane and is forwarded to a storage tank. Palm stearin, which remains on the membrane, goes through further processing to remove as much olein as possible from the solid fraction for storage. Then, the stearin is dropped into a tank, melted by steam or hot water, and sent to storage.
