| dc.description.abstract | Pilot plant trials were conducted to optimise unit operations for the extraction of edible raw palm oil. The raw palm oil thus produced had less than 1% free fatty acids. O.2% moisture and impurities. Detailed analytical data supported the high quality of the oil. The raw palm oil contained TOO ppm carotenes and hence forms a good source of vitamin A. The acceptability trials conducted in the laboratory indicated the possibility for direct edible use. Based on the data, equipments for various unit operations were designed for fabrication. A demonstration plant based on this technology has been established at Palode, Trivandrum as a joint venture between Regional Research Laboratory (CSIR) and Central Plantation Crops Research Institute (ICAR). The plant with a capacity to process O.7 tonnes fresh fruit bunches per hr is in operation to demonstrate the technology to produce edible raw palm oil. | en_US |
