Production and Physicochemical Analysis of Palm Kernel OiI

ABSTRACT

This study is a comparative analysis on the physicochemical properties and chemical composition of palm kernel oil. The extraction of the oils and determination of physicochemical properties were done employing established methods. The chemical compositions for both oils were ascertained with a Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results from the physicochemical properties for palm oil from Ezeioboand palm oil from Naze are specific gravity range of (0.890 – 0.902), refractive index range of (1.4497- 1.4620), acid value range of (1.354 mgKOH/g, 3.815mgKOH/g), iodine value range (47.84g/100g, 50.31 g/100g), peroxide value (4.94meq/kg, 9.14meq/kg) and saponification value (185.85mgKOH/g – 204.77mgKOH/g) respectively. The GC-MS revealed 10 and 12 chemical compounds in palm kernel oil, typically dominated by fatty acids. The results attest to its usefulness in food and in manufacturing industry.
