      CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]Palm kernel oil is not usually extracted on the plantations, though occasionally mills contain press designed for this purpose.The conditions for the release of palm kernel oil, which is liquid at tropical day temperatures, are different from those of palm oil, but similar to those of copra and hand oil bearing seeds.Very small quantities are extracted in producing countries by primitive means but the greater bulk of the palm kernel produced are subjected to industrial process.Although the extraction of palm kernel oil from palm kernel is not a new project, this project is capita ...
