Palm kernel oil is an edible plant oil derived from the kernel of the oil palm tree Elaeis guineensis.
Palm Kernel Oil is related to two other edible oils: palm oil, extracted from the fruit pulp of the oil palm, and coconut oil, extracted from the kernel of the coconut.
Palm kernel oil, palm oil, and coconut oil are three of the few highly saturated vegetable fats; these oils give the name to the 16-carbon saturated fatty acid palmitic acid that they contain.
Palm kernel oil, which is semi-solid at room temperature, is more saturated than palm oil and comparable to coconut oil.
Palm Kernel Oil is the edible oil extracted from the kernels of the oil palm, Elaeis guineensis.
Palm kernel oil is derived from the seed or kernel nestled within the heart of the oil palm fruit.
The extraction process initiates by cracking the tough outer shell to access the kernel.
This kernel, rich in saturated fats, especially lauric acid, is then meticulously crushed to extract Palm Kernel Oil.
With its properties akin to coconut oil, palm kernel oil is solid at room temperature and has a pale yellow hue, attributes that contribute to its stability and functionality.
It undergoes an extensive refining process, enhancing its durability and making it particularly effective for use in the production of soaps, cosmetics, and other products that benefit from a robust oil.
This higher saturation and stability make palm kernel oil a staple in applications where less reactive oils are crucial.
These distinct extraction techniques not only highlight the differences in their physical and chemical properties but also illustrate why they are preferred for various applications in industries worldwide.
The principal plant named Elaeis guineensis Jacq. (Arecaceae) or Palm Oil tree.
The origin is located in the tropics of Africa and Angola.
These days the cultivations are widespread all over the tropics in the world.
The Main cultivations are in Indonesia and Malaysia.
Two different oils will be prepared out of the fruits from the palm oil tree:
*Palm Oil
*Palm Kernel Oil
Out of the production of Palm Oil the Kernel or nuts from the Palm Oil fruits will be cleaned.
To avoid the forming of mould, the content of the humidity in the nuts are dried down to a certain percentage.
Finally the nuts will be pressed in vices to produce the Palm Kernel Oil, which will be processed to further qualities.
Palm kernel oil (crude palm kernel oil) is expressed from oil palm kernels (Elaeis guineensis L.).
However, as a rule, Palm Kernel Oil is obtained by pressing and extraction from the kernels, after which the product is refined (refined palm kernel oil).
Palm Kernel Oil is one of the most important oil-yielding plants.
Palm Kernel Oil probably originated in tropical regions, on the eastern side of the Americas and in West Africa.
These plants grow to a height of approx. 20 m and thrive within a temperature range of 24-27°C.
They do not fruit for the first 4 years, after which they yield approx. 50 fruits.
The main areas in which they are grown nowadays are: West Africa, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Brazil and Colombia.
Harvesting begins when the fruit starts to fall out of palm fruit bunches.
These clusters are then split open with knives.
Each palm fruit bunches contains up to 2000 individual pieces of fruit, with a hard core surrounded by soft fruit flesh.
Palm kernel oil is obtained from the kernel and palm oil from fruit flesh from which the kernel has been removed.
Unlike the fruit flesh, the seeds (kernels) are extremely hard (making them suitable for storage), which means that oil does not have to be extracted at the place where the crop is harvested.
The oil content is 46-53% and oil is obtained - once the product has been dried, pulverised and conditioned - by pressing or flaking and (solvent) extraction.
At room temperature, crude palm kernel oil (or fat, depending on the temperature) is solid, yellowish-brownish and has a characteristic smell and taste.
Once it has been refined, Palm Kernel Oil becomes a white to yellowish seed oil with a typically neutral, pleasant taste.
Palm Kernel Oil is highly saturated, with the emphasis on lauric acid (80%), making it fundamentally different from palm oil.
Palm Kernel Oil is, in fact, far more akin to coconut oil.
Due to palm kernel oil’s versatile industry applications, it commands a slightly higher market price than palm oil.
However, the demand for both continues to grow.
Palm Kernel Oil’s global production volume of 76 million tonnes, and palm kernel’s production volume of 8 million metric tons, are both set to expand to meet rising demands.
The $62.5 billion palm kernel oil market is expected to top $85 billion within the next five years, while palm oil production is projected to reach 240 million metric tons by 2050.
To meet this growing demand for both types of Palm Kernel Oil, processors are looking for more efficient, scalable extraction methods to keep pace with expansion.
USES and APPLICATIONS of PALM KERNEL OIL:
Palm Kernel Oil is used splitting of oils and fats by hydrolysis, or under basic conditions saponification, yields fatty acids, with glycerin (glycerol) as a byproduct.
The split-off fatty acids are a mixture ranging from C4 to C18, depending on the type of Palm Kernel Oil or fat.
Derivatives of palmitic acid were used in combination with naphtha during World War II to produce napalm (aluminum naphthenate and aluminum palmitate).
Palm kernel oil is used in the production of margarine and cold-process soaps, also in the cosmetics industry.
In the aluminium industry, palm kernel oil is used as a grease during rolling and deep-drawing processes for aluminium sheeting.
In the food industry, palm kernel oil is used for baking and cooking.
Unlike its perfectly balanced heart-healthy counterpart, palm kernel oil from the nut contains much higher levels of saturated fat than palm oil from the fruit.
This fatty acid composition makes palm kernel oil semi-solid at room temperature, making it helpful in formulating soaps, detergents, cosmetics, lotions, and other personal care products.
Although it doesn’t boast the same nutritional benefits as palm fruit oil, palm kernel oil is also often used for cooking and frying processed foods, thanks to its low cost and stability at high temperatures.
Palm kernel oil is a common ingredient in cocoa butter, coffee creamer, cheese analogs, margarines, and spreads.
Due to palm kernel oil’s versatile industry applications, it commands a slightly higher market price than palm oil.
Palm kernel oil is commonly used as a commercial cooking oil due to its stability at high temperatures.
Usages of Palm Kernel Oil: In the Pharma and medicine industry, In the Food industry, In the oleo chemistry, and in der aluminium industry.
Applications of Palm Kernel Oil: Confectionery, Confectionery Coating, Other, and Non-food Applications

PRESSING PALM KERNEL OIL:
The solid residue that remains after pressing Palm Kernel Oil from the fruit includes palm nuts as a byproduct.
Inside these nuts are oil-rich seed kernels that can be separately pressed to extract a different kind of oil that’s semi-solid at room temperature, similar to coconut oil.
These kernels are typically processed at different facilities than the palm fruits, although some independent operations handle the entire product stream.
On small plantations, workers separate the nuts from the fiber by hand, then the nuts are dried and sold to palm kernel oil mills.
More extensive operations use a machine called a depericarper to separate the nuts from the fiber more efficiently.
Mechanical nut crackers crunch the shells to release the kernels, but separating these materials requires a clay bath — the density of which causes the shells to sink while the kernels float to the top.
The kernels are dried to a moisture level of 7% before pressing.
Around the world, methods of pressing Palm Kernel Oil vary greatly depending on the mechanical sophistication of each plant.
Some mills press the kernels without pre-treatment, accelerating wear and tear on the equipment.
Other plants partially pre-treat the kernels by grinding the seed material into flakes.
More advanced operations completely pre-treat the material first by:
Flaking the kernels in a grinder to increase the surface area of the material to be pressed.
Cooking the flaked palm kernel in steam-conditioned vessels to solidify the proteins and release the oil.
Drying the cooked kernel flakes to 3% moisture for more efficient pressing.
Whether the kernels are direct-pressed, partially pre-treated, or thoroughly flaked, cooked, and dried, the material enters a screw press that squeezes out the palm kernel oil.
The high fat content of these seeds requires a second pressing to obtain maximum oil yields, reducing the residual oils to less than 7%.
HISTORY of PALM KERNEL OIL:
Palm Kernel Oil from the African oil palm Elaeis guineensis has long been recognized in West African and Central African countries.
European merchants trading with West Africa occasionally purchased palm oil for use in Europe, but palm kernel oil remained rare outside West Africa.
The USDA has published historical production figures for palm kernel oil for years beginning October 1 and ending September 30.
RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS of PALM KERNEL OIL:
In the 1960s, research and development (R&D) in oil palm breeding began to expand after Malaysia's Department of Agriculture established an exchange program with West African economies and four private plantations formed the Oil Palm Genetics Laboratory.
The Malaysian government also established Kolej Serdang, which became the Universiti Pertanian Malaysia (UPM) in the 1970s to train agricultural and agroindustrial engineers and agribusiness graduates to conduct research in the field.
In 1979 with support from the Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (MARDI) and UPM, the government set up the Palm Oil Research Institute of Malaysia (Porim), a public-and-private-coordinated institution.
B. C. Shekhar was appointed founder and chairman.
Porim's scientists work in oil palm tree breeding, palm oil nutrition and potential oleochemical use.
Porim was renamed Malaysian Palm Oil Board in 2000.
NUTRITION of PALM KERNEL OIL:
Palm kernel oil, similar to coconut oil, is high in saturated fats and is more saturated than palm oil.
Palm kernel oil is high in lauric acid, which has been shown to raise blood cholesterol levels, both as LDL-C (cholesterol contained in low-density lipoprotein), which increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, and HDL-C (cholesterol contained in high-density lipoprotein),[8] which has been shown to lower it.
However, the raise in total cholesterol concentration is partly due to more HDL-C than LDL-C.
Palm kernel oil does not contain cholesterol or trans fatty acids.
Palm kernel oil is commonly used in commercial cooking because it is lower in cost than other oils, remains stable at high cooking temperature, and can be stored longer than other vegetable oils.
MECHANICAL EXTRACTION of PALM KERNEL OIL:
Mechanical extraction processes are suitable for both small- and large- capacity operations.
The three basic steps in these processes are (a) kernel pre-treatment, (b) screw-pressing, and (c) oil clarification.
**Kernel pre-treatment
Proper kernel pre-treatment is necessary to efficiently extract the oil from the kernels.
The feed kernels must first be cleaned of foreign materials that may cause damage to the screw-presses, increasing maintenance costs and down time, and contamination of products.
Magnetic separators commonly are installed to remove metal debris, while vibrating screens are used to sieve sand, stones or other undesirable materials.
A swinging hammer grinder, breaker rolls or a combination of both then breaks the kernels into small fragments.
This process increases the surface area of the kernels, thus facilitating flaking.
The kernel fragments subsequently are subjected to flaking in a roller mill.
A large roller mill can consist of up to five rollers mounted vertically above one another, each revolving at 200-300 rpm.
The thickness of kernel cakes is progressively reduced as it travels from the top roller to the bottom.
This progressive rolling initiates rupturing of cell walls.
The flakes that leave the bottom nip are from 0.25 to 0.4 mm thick.
The kernel flakes are then conveyed to a stack cooker for steam conditioning, the purpose of which is to:
· adjust the moisture content of the meal to an optimum level;
· rupture cell walls (initiated by rolling);
· reduce viscosity of oil;
· coagulate the protein in the meal to facilitate separation of the oil from protein materials.
The meal flows from the top compartment down to the fifth compartment in series.
At each stage a mechanical stirrer agitates the meal.
Steam trays heat the cookers, and live steam may be injected into each compartment when necessary.
The important variables are temperature, retention time and moisture content.
In the palm kernel, the meals are normally cooked to a moisture content of 3 percent at 104-110°C.
**Screw-pressing
The properly cooked meal is then fed to the screw-press, which consists of an interrupted helical thread (worm) which revolves within a stationary perforated cylinder called the cage or barrel.
The meal is forced through the barrel by the action of the revolving worms.
The volume axially displaced by the worm diminishes from the feeding end to the discharge end, thus compressing the meal as it passes through the barrel.
The expelled oil drains through the perforation of the lining bars of the barrel, while the de-oiled cake is discharged through an annular orifice.
In order to prevent extreme temperatures that could damage Palm Kernel Oil and cake quality, the worm-shaft is always cooled with circulating water while the barrel is cooled externally by recycling some cooled oil.
**Palm Kernel Oil clarification
The expelled oil invariably contains a certain quantity of ‘fines and foots’ that need to be removed.
Palm Kernel Oil from the presses is drained to a reservoir.
It is then either pumped to a decanter or revolving coarse screen to remove a large part of the solid impurities.
Palm Kernel Oil is then pumped to a filter press to remove the remaining solids and fines in order to produce clear oil prior to storage.
The cakes discharged from the presses are conveyed for bagging or bulk storage.
As can be seen from Diagram 2, not all crushers use the same procedure for mechanical extraction of Palm Kernel Oil.
There are three variations: direct screw-pressing, partial pre-treatment, and complete pre-treatment.
*Direct screw-pressing
Some mills crush the kernels directly in the presses without any pre-treatment.
Double pressing is usually required to ensure efficient oil extraction.
The screw-presses used normally are less than 10 tonnes per unit per day.
*Partial pre-treatment
The kernels are first broken down to smaller fragments by grinding prior to screw-pressing.
In some cases, cooking is also carried out.
*Complete pre-treatment
The full pre-treatment processes described earlier are carried out prior to screw-pressing.
Plants with larger capacities (50-500 tonnes per day) choose complete pre-treatment and the equipment is usually imported from Europe.
*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.
However the process is not recommended for small enterprises.
Traditional method of palm kernel extraction
Palm kernel extraction is a specialised operation undertaken by a completely different set of processors.
They are usually better organized as a group and are not as dispersed as palm oil processors.
The kernel processors have to go around the palm oil processors during the peak season, when prices are lowest, to purchase the nuts for drying.
The nut processing and oil extraction is undertaken in the dry season when the pressure to obtain raw materials has subsided.
The traditional palm oil processing starts with the shelling of the palm nuts.
The shelling used to be performed using two stones to crack each nut and separating the kernel and shell simultaneously.
This manual operation has been largely superseded by the use of nut-cracking stations.
The mechanical nut-crackers deliver a mixture of kernels and shells that must be separated.
The kernel/shell separation is usually performed in a clay-bath, which is a concentrated viscous mixture of clay and water.
The density of the clay-bath is such that the shells sink while the lighter kernels float to the top of the mixture.
The floating kernels are scooped in baskets, washed with clean water and dried.
Periodically, the shells are scooped out of the bath and discarded.
The traditional oil extraction method is to fry palm kernels in old oil or simply heat the dried nuts.
The fried kernels are then pounded or ground to a paste in a motorised grinder.
The paste is mixed with a small quantity of water and heated to release the palm kernel oil.
The released oil is periodically skimmed from the top.
Today, there are stations in villages that will accept well-dried kernels for direct extraction of the oil in mechanised, motorised expellers.
SUSTAINABLE PALM KERNEL OIL:
Many ingredients that are essential for the production of cosmetic products – such as emulsifiers and surfactants – are extracted from mineral or vegetable oils, e.g. Palm Kernel Oil.
As a global skin care company we do not purchase Palm Kernel Oil directly but use derivatives (further processed substances based on palm (kernel) oil).
When sustainably cultivated, oil palms are ecologically very efficient plants that allow maximum oil production on a comparatively small area of cultivated land.
To conserve scarce resources and minimize the environmental impact of our products, we work closely with our partners along the supply chain.
HOW TO MAKE PALM KERNEL OIL?
But do you know how to make palm kernel oil?
How to refine palm kernel oil?
As palm kernel oil refinery plant manufacturer and supplier, i will tell you the whole palm kernel oil extraction process and whole palm kernel oil refining process.
PALM KERNEL OIL EXTRACTION PROCESS:
Palm kernel oil extraction process as follows:
Automatic palm kernel oil extraction machine have six parts: cleaning station, crushing station, softening station, flaking station, cooking station, pressing station, filtering station
Main process of palm kernel oil extraction machine:
*Palm kernel cleaning station:
It is used for removing the iron impurities, stone, fiber and others.
These impurities are bad for automatic palm kernel oil processing plant, especially for the palm kernel oil expeller.
*Palm kernel crushing station:
because the palm kernel is hard and big size, it is required to crash to smaller and even pieces.
If once crashing can not reach the requirements, the second crashing is required.
*Palm kernel softening station:
Softening adjusts moisture and temperature of oil seeds, softens and increases plasticity of oil seeds.
For palm kernel, softening is an essential process for better flaking effect.
*Palm kernel flaking station:
Flaking creates beneficial condition for cooking.
*Palm kernel cooking station:
Cooking is to wet, heat, steam and to cook flakes to change the internal structure of flakes, including destroying cells, protein solidification and denaturation, etc.
All these changes makes oil easy to isolate and also enhance crude oil quality.
*Palm kernel pressing station:
Palm kernel oil press machine is to press oil from oil seeds.
Basically we can get most of the palm kernel oil.
*Palm kernel filtering station:
After pressing, there are some oil dregs in the crude oil.
After clarifying, we need to filter the crude oil to avoid to jam the oil pipes during palm kernel oil refining processes.
PALM KERNEL OIL REFINING PROCESS:
Palm kernel oil refining process as follows:
Palm kernel oil refining machine is used for removing the impurities of palm kernel oil, such as fatty acid, phosphatide, pigment.
After the process of palm kernel oil refining machine, the refined oil reaches the edible oil standard.
Main process of 2tpd palm kernel oil refining machine:
(1) Degumming ---- to remove gum and impurities from crude oil
(2) Deacidification---using alkali to neutralize acid inside crude oil
(3) Decoloration--- using clay to bleach crude oil
(4) Deodorization-- using deodorizing tower to remove odor from crude oil , then will get refined peanut oil

PALM OIL VS PALM KERNEL OIL
Palm oil and palm kernel oil may sound very similar and both come from palm trees – but they aren’t the same product.
In fact, there are some very important differences between these two oils that every consumer, restaurant owner, and chef should know.
Where are They Extracted From?
The main difference between these two oils is where they actually come from.
Palm oil is extracted from the fruit of the palm tree itself.
The palm fruit is carefully harvested, steamed, and pressed to produce a rich, dark red oil high in carotene.
However, during the processing of palm oil, this carotene is refined out of the product, leaving behind a milky, creamy-textured oil.
Palm kernel oil, on the other hand, is extracted from the soft inner seeds within the fruit.
These are roasted, ground and processed to release the oil.
Because they each originate from different parts of the palm tree, they have chemically and nutritionally different characters, which makes them suited to particular uses.
What are Palm Oil and Palm Kernel Oil Used for?
Palm oil, or palm fruit oil, is a creamy liquid oil that’s semi-solid at room temperature.
It has traditionally been used for cooking because it handles high heat very well.
It’s also a common ingredient in baked goods, desserts, and sweets, adding richness and making a good alternative to margarine or butter.
Palm kernel oil solid at room temperature with a consistency that’s very similar to butter, and is chemically similar to coconut oil.
It is also often used in cooking, particularly for fried foods.
In addition to being used for high-heat cooking because it remains stable and is less likely to burn or cause a fire risk, it’s often used in cosmetics, soaps, personal care products, and detergents.
It’s also usually cheaper than palm fruit oil.
Palm kernel oil is produced by the physical refining of crude Palm Kernel oil.
It is produced under most stringent quality control requirements and hygiene standards.
