Abstract:The effect of polyglycerol ester (PGEmix-8) additive on palm oil fractionation was studied at isothermal temperature of 24°C. Sampling was conducted at 20 min intervals to determine the solid fat content (SFC) of the slurries and the yield and compositions of the olein and stearin fractions. The peak of crystal size distribution was reduced from 100 μm to an average of 70 μm when 0.1% (w/w) to 0.5% (w/w) of PGEmix-8 were added in palm oil. The peak value was further reduced to 35 μm when 0.7% (w/w) additive wa… Show more
