Effect of Processing Method on the Quality of Palm Kernel
PKC is by-product of palm kernel oil extraction from African oil palm fruit (Elaeis guineensis, jacq.). Boateng et al. (2008) described two processes in the extraction of palm kernel oil in Ghana; expeller press and an indigenous local technique that employs hydrothermal techniques to extract the oil.
5.2 Solvent extraction. Solvent extraction processes can be divided into three main unit operations: kernel pre-treatment, oil extraction, and solvent recovery from the oil and meal. For the purposes of small-scale operations it is sufficient to mention the solvent extraction process is an alternative for high capacity mills.
GREEN SOLVENT ENHANCED MECHANICAL EXTRACTION OF PALM KERNEL OIL
The oil yield of 34.2% was obtained in the extraction condition of the ratio of palm kernel to ethyl acetate of 1:7, the rotational speed of 5000 rpm, and 10 minutes extraction time.
When the nut is processed, it yields palm kernel oil and palm kernel cake or meal depending on the method of extraction. According to Okeudo et al (2005), the by-product from the mechanical expeller procedure is referred to as palm kernel cake, whilst that from the solvent extraction technique is called palm kernel meal.

After the extraction, the solvent is distilled off from the oil and fed back into the process. Ideally, for a high grade oil, the entire amount of hexane is recovered this way. The process objective is to minimise the loss of solvent vapour through venting, and to maximise the condensation of the solvent.
Palm Kernel Oil Manufacturing Machine
PALM KERNEL OIL PROCESSING PROCESS. Mechanical extraction processes are suitable for both small, medium and large capacity operations. The basic steps are : Palm Nut Cracking & Shell Separation Unit; Palm kernel Mechanical Pressing Unit; Palm Nut Cracking & Shell Separation Unit. Palm Nut is one of the byproduct of Palm Oil Extraction Plants.
It is one of the Best oils. Palm kernel oil is different from palm oil, which is obtained from the flesh of the fruit. The design objective in this case is to redesign and fabricate a palm kernel oil extraction plant (mechanical) that will produce 200kg of palm kernel oil per day using palm kernel. In the extraction of palm kernel oil, many ...
- Can palm kernel oil be extracted mechanically?
- Even though the mechanical extraction process offers a simple and environmentally friendly process, the recovery of oil is relatively low. Thermal pretreating the oilseed increases the oil yield but produces unwanted oil color. A new method that combines grinding and extraction using green solvents was developed to extract palm kernel oil.
- Could intensified extract Palm kernel oil faster than existing extraction methods?
- intensified could extract palm kernel oil faster than existing extraction methods. Keywords: Green Solvents, Ethyl Acetate, Extraction, Palm Kernel. Vegetable oil is c urrently produced either by solvent extraction or mechanical press of oil-bearing seeds. particularly using h exane, is industrially preferable.
- Is a palm oil processing plant necessary in Ghana?
- Palm oil is one of the major sources of edible oil. It is extracted from a fleshy mesocarp of the palm fruit. Setting up a palm oil production plant isnecessarysince global demand is on the rise. But there are many requirements for setting up a palm oil processing plant in Ghana which demands a feasibility study.
- What is the extraction rate of palm oil in Ghana?
- The results of oil and grease obtained in this study confirms the low oil extraction rate of 12–13% reported for small-scale palm oil processers in Ghana (MASDAR 2011 ). The peak production seasons coincide with the rainy seasons in Ghana.
- Which green solvents are used in palm kernel oil extraction?
- The performance of six different green solvents such as water, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, dimethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, and d-limonene in the extraction of palm kernel oil was determined using a controllable blender extractor (CBE), new extraction equipment modified from a household blender appliance.
- Does cbeintensified palm kernel oil save energy?
- Compared with other green extraction methods, the CBEintensified palm kernel oil extraction could save >70% energy consumption. In terms of extraction time, the CBEintensified could extract palm kernel oil faster than existing extraction methods.
