Steam (physical) refining deodorizer for malaysian palm oil

  • Published:
Journal of the American Oil Chemists’ Society

Abstract

The production of Malaysian palm oil is expected to increase 20% per year for the next 5 yr. Already planted are more than a million acres which will start to produce in the next few years. Recent plantings of new strains will produce 2400 to 3000 lb of palm oil per acre. Palmex Industries, Penang, Malaysia started in operation in August, 1975, a physical refining system to produce a deodorized palm oil with 0.03% free fatty acid (FFA) from crude palm oil containing 5.0% FFA. Production records confirm the feasibility of physical refining crude palm oil in Malaysia, ex-porting the oil to the United States, and producing a quality product with a minimum of additional pro-cessing.
