PALM OIL INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
The oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) originates from the coastal regions of West Africa and has been grown in other parts of the world since the end of the 19th century. Palm oil is derived from the flesh of the fruit of the oil palm species E. Guineensis. In its virgin form, the oil is bright orange-red due to the high content of carotene. Palm oil is Nature's Gift to Malaysia, and Malaysia's to the World.
Palm oil is semi-solid at room temperature; a characteristic brought about by its approx. 50 percent saturation level. Palm oil (and its products) has good resistance to oxidation and heat at prolonged elevated temperatures; hence, making palm oil an ideal ingredient in frying oil blends. Manufacturers and end-users around the world incorporate high percentages of palm oil in their frying oil blends for both performance and economic reasons. In fact, in many instances, palm oil has been used as 100 percent replacement for traditional hydrogenated seed oils such as soybean oil and canola. Products fried in palm oil include potato chips, frenchfries, doughnuts, ramen noodles and nuts.
Palm oil is the most common edible oil and is used in everyday foods, cosmetics and personal hygiene products. Global use of palm oil and palm kernel has increased almost five fold since 1990, reaching 50 million tonnes in 2011. Its success is largely because palm oil offers the highest yield of any edible oiland therefore the most profit. Among the 17 oils and fats on the global market, palm oil has emerged as the leader, accounting for approximately a third of the world’s edible oil production.
Indonesia and Malaysia produce 85 per cent of all palm oil,with around 12.8 million hectares of mature plantations. Recently, there has been significant development of plantations in Africa, Latin America and other parts ofAsia (driven in part by global demand and investment returns).The food sector uses around 70 per cent of all palm oil. However, it is increasinglyused in soaps, detergents, surfactants, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and biofuel.
Malaysia's position as the World's leading Palm Oil-producing country has allowed the industry to flourish in the way it has never been before. Now, we are churning out a wider variety of by-products as a result of continuous R&D efforts; making the downstream manufacturing into an industry itself. This allows Malaysia to remain heads and shoulders above its other competitors. Malaysia currently accounts for 39 % of world palm oil production and 44% of world exports. If taken into account of other oils & fats produced in the country, Malaysia accounts for 12% and 27% of the world's total production and exports of oils and fats. Being one of the biggest producers and exporters of palm oil and palm oil products, Malaysia has an important role to play in fulfilling the growing global need for oils and fats sustainably.
The refining of crude palm oil commenced in the early 70s in response to Government's call for increased industrialization. The emergence of refineries marked the introduction of a wide range of processed palm oil products. In the 80s, another important milestone was marked where oleochemicals industry begins to flourish due to ample supply of palm and palm kernel oil. This also leads Malaysia to become a world leader in the oleochemicals sector to date.

PALM OIL PRODUCTION CHAIN
A unique feature of the oil palm is that it produces two types of oil - palm oil from the flesh of the fruit, and palm kernel oil from the seed or kernel. For every 10 tonnes of palm oil, about 1 tonne of palm kemel oil is also obtained. Several processing operations are used to produce the finished palm oil that meets the users' requirements. The first step in processing is at the mill, where the crude palm oil is extracted from the fruit. The various steps in extraction are shown in the Flow Chart.
The crude palm oil may be further refined (second stage of processing) to get a wide range of palm products of specified quality. The partly and wholly processed grades require little further treatment before use, offering end-user a saving in processing costs.
Palm oil may also be fractionated, using simple crystallization and separation processes to obtain solid (stearin) and liquid (olein) fractions of various melting characteristics. The different properties of the fractions make them suitable for a variety of food and non-food products.
The oil palm produces two types of oils: palm oil from the fi brous mesocarp (fl esh) and lauricoil from the palm kernel. After harvesting, the fresh fruit bunches (FFB) must be processed as soon as possible to prevent a rapid build-up of free fatty acids that could adversely affect the quality of the oil. In the conventional milling process, the bunches are sterilized and stripped of the fruitlets, which are then digested and pressed to extract the crude palm oil (CPO). The oil palm nuts are separated from fi bre in the press cake and cracked to obtain palm kernels.These are then crushed in another plant to obtain crude palm kernel oil (CPKO) and aby-product, palm kernel cake (PKC), which is used as animal feed. Physical splitting or ‘fractionation’ of CPO and CPKO in the refinery produces the liquid olein fraction anda solid stearin component.
Palm oil and palm kernel oil have a wide range of applications. About 80 percent is used for food applications while the rest is feedstock for a number of non-food applications. Amongthe food uses, refi ned, bleached and deodorized (RBD) olein is used mainly for cooking and frying oils, shortening and margarine while RBD stearin is used for the production ofshortening and margarine. RBD palm oil (i.e. unfractionated palm oil) is used for producing margarine, shortening, vegetable ghee, frying fats and ice cream. Several blends have been developed to produce solid fats with a zero content of trans-fatty acids. In the production ofice cream, milk fats are replaced by a combination of palm oil and palm kernel oil. A blendof palm oil, palm kernel oil and other fats replaces milk fat for the production of non-dairy creamers or whiteners.
Palm oil and palm kernel oil are also ingredients for the production of specialty fats, which include cocoa butter equivalents (CBE) and cocoa butter substitutes (CBS) and general purpose coating fats. CBE and CBS have physical properties that are similar to cocoa butter and are widely used for production of chocolate confectionery.
Non-food uses of palm oil and palm kernel oil are produced either directly or through the oleochemical route, which produces various types of chemical ingredients for the soap,detergent and cosmetic industries. Some of these chemicals are also used in the chemical industry for plasticizers, coatings, etc.
A recent trend is the usage of by-products of the oleochemical industry as well as crude palm oil as energy sources for electricity plants and increasingly as biofuel and biodiesel. Bioenergy companies are playing an increasingly significant role in the palm oil sector.
