What is the yield of palm kernel oil per acre?

Yield of palm kernel oil per acre is approximately 8% of palm oil yield, with global production of about 4 million t. With approximately 82% saturated fat, it is very hard and brittle at room temperature but melts quickly at body temperature (Table 6.A ). This is explained by the presence of 48% lauric acid, a low melting point saturated fat.

What is palm kernel oil?

Palm kernel oil is obtained from the oil-rich seed of the oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jackqu ). A description of the oil palm and its development into a major crop is given in the entry on PALM OIL. The production process of the kernels in the oil mill is also described there.

When did palm oil become a commercial crop?

In terms of large-scale commercial production, however, oil palm is a relatively recent crop that only emerged into global prominence later in the twentieth century, with an almost linear rise from 1990 to the early 2000s, followed by a plateau after 2007 (Malaysian Palm Oil Production by Year 2020 ).

Are palm kernels a coproduct of palm oil production?

Palm kernels are a coproduct of palm oil production, and as opposed to palm fruit, the kernels can be stored after they have been dried. This means that palm oil has to be produced at or near the plantation and that palm kernel oil production can be centralized. When the fresh fruit bunch (FFB) reaches the oil plant, it is sterilized with steam.
