HISTORY OF
OIL PALM TREE
Oil Palm (Elaeis guineensis) originates from West Africa
where it grows in the wild
First introduced to Southeast Asia in 1848, four seedlings,
originating from West Africa were planted in the botanical
gardens at Buitenzorg (now Bogor) in Java
This introduction did not lead to a plantation industry for
some time, although offspring of the palms were used as
ornamentals

HISTORY OF
PALM OIL USAGE
Human use of oil palms may date as far back as 5,000 years
1800s, archaeologists discovered a substance that they
concluded was originally palm oil in a tomb at Abydos
dating back to 3,000 BC
It is believed that Arab traders brought the oil palm to Egypt

same tree TREE
Trees may grow up to sixty feet and more in height
Trunks of young and mature trees are wrapped in
fronds which give them a rather rough appearance
Older trees have smoother trunks apart from the scars
left by the fronds which have withered and fallen of

will continue

Each fruitlet is almost spherical or elongated in shape
Fruitlet is dark purple, almost black and the colour turns to
orange red when ripe
Most efficient oil-bearing crop in the world, requiring only
0.26 hectares of land to produce one tonne of oil

REFINED, BLEACHED,
DEODORISED PALM OIL
REFINING
First stage of the processing is primarily to remove the
gums
and pro-oxidative trace metals, degumming
BLEACHING
Neutralization of the Free Fatty Acids by caustic soda,
to remove them in the form of soaps
DEODORISING
Final stage being a high-temperature vacuum
deodorization
mainly to remove residual pigments and oxidation
products
which would otherwise adversely affect the flavour,

Liquid fraction
Fractionation process
involves a
physical process of
cooling the
oil under controlled
conditions
to low temperatures
followed
by filtration of the
crystals
through membrane
press
Oxidative stability of soft
oils
are also extended and
improved
by the palm olein.
Standard olein and super
Liquid fraction
Fraction of palm kernel oil
when the oil is
fractionated
Solid fat profile shows
that the
olein melts by about
25C,
compared to palm kernel
oil
which melts at 28C
30C.
Oil can be hydrogenated,
giving
a sharper melting
profile,
enabling its use in
coating fats

29
STANDARD OLEIN
The standard olein has an iodine value of about 56-59
Cloud point of 10C max
SUPER OLEIN
Higher iodine value of 60 or above
These oleins have better clarity and lower tendency to turn
cloudy compared to normal olein
These oleins are also suitable as cooking and frying oils
Blending normal or super olein with unsaturated oils
results in mixtures with different compositions and clarity to
cater to different market requirements

N
Solid fraction produced
partial crystallization
at

Contains carotenoids
Contains no trans-fats
Great multi-purpose
cooking ingredient
Can be blended with
oils of
other beans and
vegetables
to create trans-fan free
versions of those

RESIDUAL FATTY
ACIDS
Contains 50% or 80%
saturated fatty acids
Yet it does not promote atherosclerosis and arterial
thrombosis, inhibition of endogenous cholesterol
biosynthesis, platelet aggregation and reduction in blood
pressure
33
GLYCERINE
Clear, colorless, thick liquid with a naturally sweet
taste
Derived from palm oil by the process of
hydrogenolysis,
which removes the fatty acids, leaving pure
vegetable
glycerine
Extensively used in the preparation of coffee and
tea flavors and an Ingredient in soft drinks
Used as a humectant, a penetrant, and a softening
agent
Agent in cosmetics, toothpaste, shampoos, soaps,
herbal
remedies, pharmaceuticals and other household

Soap is made up of 80% palm oil and 20% of kernel oil.
This 80 : 20 formulation gives the right balance of lather,
rate of wear, cleansing ability and hardness
