At this point, we will have bleached palm oil Bleaching We then add bleaching earth (activated clay) to adsorb all colour pigments in the oil « Deodorisation Next, we remove odour and FFA from the bleached palm oil through deodarisation. The oil is heated and the vapour, which is also known as palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD), is removed from the oil. The oil is now known as Refined Bleached Deodorised Palm Oil (RBDPO} Fractionation : Some of the RBDPO is sold to customers who use it as industrial frying fat. The bulk of it now undergoes fractionation where the oil is gradually cooled and passed through membrane filters FAD by-product can be used for bodestlleochemieal production > ° a + Aportion oft wal ersatz upon cooling and become sels This is known as palm statin ands sold a5 margarine shortening 0" 95 cleachemical feedstock + Brother portion stays 2 gud and Bs is known ae palm ‘len, which 8 cooking of Packaging Margarine, shortening, and cooking oil are packaged in boxes, pouches, jerry cans and in bulk We classify cooking ol based on ther “loud point lein wth a ow cloud point is used for consumer product ie Fima Olen witha higher elous point {sed fer commercial purposes ———————)
