Characterization of a by-product of palm oil milling.
The caracteristics of sludge palm oil, by-product of the palm oil milling process, were anlysed using six quality parameters for oils and fats. Volatile analyses namely headspace gas chromatography and simultaneous distillation-extraction, were also carried out to help characterize the oil. Results from the six parameter determination showed that the oil had on average a moisture content of 0.99%, free fatty acid 44.43% (as palmitic acid), perozide value 9.98, iodine value 49.81, saponifcation value 197.47 and unsaponifiable matter 0.350 per cent. The headspace gas destillation extract showed the presence off aldehydes, ketones, alkanes, furan, phenols, carboxylic acids and esters.
