Crude Palm Kernel Oil

The crude palm oil collected in a tank contains impurities, which are made up of both oil-soluble and -insoluble non-triglycerides. The oil insoluble impurities such as fruit fibres, free moisture, and nut shells can later be removed through a purification process.
In the meantime, the nut shells are further processed to separate the kernels from the shells. At the end of the milling process, crude palm oil and palm kernels are produced
