Abstract

Continuous attempts have been made to re-examine the aqueous extraction of palm oil (through pit technology) and device a means of improving the technology particularly for the small-scale processors. A novel aqueous batch extraction system was developed and was subsequently evaluated for its performance in palm oil processing. The crude oil produced from the traditional pit technology and aqueous batch extraction system were compared and evaluated using a 23 factorial experimental design. The factors considered were fruit sterilization time, variety of fruit and processing technology. The crude oil produced at different factor levels was assessed for its solid impurities, moisture content and oil content. The result indicates that the crude oil yield from batch extraction system are higher with values of 30.4%, 30.9%, 42.0% and 43.2% compared with pit technology method with 26.8%, 27.7%, 38.6% and 39.6% respectively. The throughput of the batch extraction system (120kg of mash/ h) was found to be higher than pit technology that could take only 65kg of mash / h. Keywords : palm oil, aqueous-extraction, traditional-method, mechanical system, efficiency Discovery and Innovation Vol. 19 (3) 2007: pp. 202-207

棕榈油水萃取系统的研制

人们不断尝试重新检查棕榈油的水萃取(通过坑技术)和设备，以改进技术，特别是为小型加工商。开发了一种新的水基间歇萃取系统，并对其在棕榈油加工中的性能进行了评价。采用23因子试验设计，对传统矿坑法和水间歇萃取法的原油产量进行了比较和评价。考虑了水果杀菌时间、水果品种和加工工艺等因素。对不同因素水平下产出的原油进行了固体杂质、水分和含油量的评价。结果表明，间歇萃取法的原油得率分别为30.4%、30.9%、42.0%和43.2%，高于坑法的26.8%、27.7%、38.6%和39.6%。间歇式萃取系统的产量(120公斤/小时)比坑式萃取技术的产量(65公斤/小时)要高。关键词:棕榈油，水萃取，传统方法，机械系统，效率发现与创新Vol. 19 (3) 2007: pp. 202-207
