Palm Kernel Oil Production Cost Reports

Palm Kernel Oil production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Palm Kernel Oil production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Palm Kernel Oil. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc. Palm Kernel Oil is an edible oil derived from the seeds (nuts) of oil palm Elaeis guineensis kernel. The kernels look dark brown and are the size of hazelnuts holding 4–50% oil.

Palm Kernel Oil has a semi-solid consistency at room temperature and is more saturated compared to palm oil. It does not have any amount of cholesterol (which is present in unrefined animal fats). The oil is full of myristic and lauric fatty acids, which makes it ideal for the manufacturing of soaps, personal care products etc. It appears to be white to yellow in colour.

Palm Kernel Oil is widely used as a cooking oil which is giving rise to its use in the commercial food industry, driving its market growth. Furthermore, as it is cheaper and offers properties like high oxidative stability (saturation) when used for frying applications, the absence of cholesterol and trans fatty acids makes it a heart-healthy product furthering its market demand. Besides culinary uses, it can be used like other vegetable oils to make biodiesel which is employed in internal combustion engines furthering its market use.

Its use as a biodiesel will likely propel further as the demand for renewable energy sources rises in light of the initiatives being taken to cut net carbon dioxide emissions. This can help diversify energy supplies and support national energy security, which in turn results in higher market demand. Also, as it is an extremely saturated oil, it is used to produce various products like cream, milk lotion, soap, and other cosmetics, which are driving its industry growth. Other factors contributing to the market development include growing consumer demand for products with natural and healthy ingredients, rising health awareness among consumers, and increasing use of biodiesel in vehicles as it is cheap and environmentally friendly.
