Abstract

Characteristics of crude palm oil are high FFA and DAG contents. High DAG content may affect throughput and yield during fractionation: high-grade specialty fats such as hard palm mid fraction require premium crude palm oil to secure adequate crystallization properties. Moreover, DAGs are generally considered the main precursors for the formation of glycidyl esters during high-temperature deodorization. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of enzymatic remediation on the reduction of FFA and DAG in crude palm oil. In practice, series of process parameters (vacuum and reaction time) were investigated, and the quality of enzymatically remediated crude palm oils was examined in terms of FFA and DAG reduction, TAG composition, and SFC and DSC melting profiles. Fully refined enzymatically remediated palm oils were then dry fractionated. The quality of the oleins derived from the enzymatically remediated palm oil was compared to that of regular RBD palm oleins.
