Characterization of sludge palm oil

A total of 12 analyses were carried out on sludge palm oil (SPO) to determine the most suitable parameters for characterizing this oil. The parameters usually employed for characterizing palm oil are free fatty acid (FFA) content, slip melting point, moisture and impurity content, iodine value (IV) and colour. All these parameters were found to […]

Estimating Oil Content of Commercially Harvested Oil Palm Fresh Fruit Bunches – A Step towards Increasing Palm Oil Yields

Oil palm growers are able to assign fresh fruit bunch (FFB) yields to individual blocks, and thus are able to manage their plantation (or smallholding) to optimise FFB yield. However, currently it is not possible to attribute oil extraction rate (OER), hence oil yield, in a similar way, because mills process FFB from many sources, deriving a common OER for all the […]
