Drying also significantly affected (P?<?0.05) composition of some fatty acids in palm kernel oil such as capric acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid and oleic acid. However, drying did not affect palm kernel and palm kernel oil functional groups and thermal properties. After drying, structural damage of palm kernel was observed.

Does palm oil contain Sudan dyes in chilli spices?

How long does palm oil take to dry?

The properties of palm oil were tested at temperatures of 70 and 90 oC only, and the drying time was 3 hours. From the test results as shown in figure 13, the results of the experiment showed that drying at 90¡ãC for 3 hours, stored for 1 day in semi-damp drying, and was the best at % FFA.
