Palm oil is an edible oil of global importance, widely used in food processing, cooking and industrial purposes. Its high temperature resistance and various nutritional properties make it an important ingredient in many products. However, it is worth noting that the production of palm oil also involves sustainability and environmental issues, including aspects such as land use and deforestation for palm cultivation. Therefore, the sustainable and environmentally friendly production methods of palm oil are also receiving increasing attention.
Palm oil is a vegetable oil obtained from the fruit of the palm. The following is the production process of general palm oil:
1.Picking and Handling: Ripe palm fruits are picked and handled in a short time to avoid fruit rot.
2.Cooking and sterilization: The whole cluster of palm fruit bunches is further processed by heating, so that the palm fruit is easier to fall off.
3.Threshing: getting individual palm fruit.
4.Fruit crushing: The picked palm fruit is crushed by mechanical equipment to separate the shell and pulp.
5.Oil pressing: The pulp after shelling is sent to an oil press for oil extraction. The oil press machine separates palm oil and crushed residue through mechanical pressing.
6.Filtration: remove solid impurities such as oil residue and material residue in crude oil to obtain cleaner filtered oil.
7.Refining: Crude palm oil is refined to remove impurities and odors through dephosphorization, deacidification, dehydration, decolorization, deodorization and Fraction steps to improve the quality and stability of oil products.
8.Processing: Refined palm oil can be processed according to needs, such as subpackaging, blending, hardening, etc., to meet different uses and needs.
9.Packaging: Finally, the processed palm oil is filled into appropriate packaging containers to maintain its freshness and quality.
Palm oil has many benefits and effects, here are some common ones:
Nutrient supply: Palm oil is rich in vitamin E and carotenoids, which have antioxidant effects on protecting cells from free radical damage. It also contains fatty acids such as palmitic acid and oleic acid, which provide energy for the body and maintain normal metabolism.
Heart Health: Palm oil is high in oleic acid and relatively low in saturated fatty acids. Moderate intake of oleic acid can help lower bad cholesterol levels and maintain heart health. However, highly refined palm oil may destroy some of its beneficial components and increase levels of bad cholesterol, so choosing high-quality, organic, and non-refined palm oil is ideal.
Skin Care: The stability and moisturizing properties of palm oil make it a common ingredient in many skin care and personal care products. It can provide nourishment in moisturizing skin care products to help keep the skin soft and hydrated and reduce water loss.
High temperature cooking: palm oil is more resistant to high temperature and is suitable for cooking and frying food. It can maintain stability at high temperature, is not easy to produce harmful oxidation products, and maintains the color, aroma and nutritional value of food.
