  • How long can the crude oil from the palm oil refining be kept and how long can the oil from the press be kept?
  • The refined palm oil can be stored for 18 months after filling and capping and protected from light, but the oil from the oil press, without refining, is difficult to keep for a long time, and it is expected that the index will be exceeded in about 10 days, so it is necessary to refine the oil from the press.
  • After the palm oil distillation, can I purify the stearin or glycerol tristearate with a melting point of 55 degrees Celsius by fractionation?
  • Palm oil fractionation: The melting point of stearin or glyceryl tristearate obtained from palm oil fractionation is generally around 54, while the melting point of soft fat obtained from fractionation is generally 24 degrees Celsius, but it is a mixture, not pure.
