Abstract

The evaluation of effect of extraction techniques on quality of extracted palm oil was investigated. The oil was extracted using three different methods namely: traditional method, semi-mechanized method and mechanized method. The oil was analysed using American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) methods and compared the quality with standard specification for palm oil. In all the methods used, mechanized techniques gave highest oil yield of 30%. The result of the analysis showed that the method of palm oil extraction affects the quality and storage ability of the oil. The mechanized method gave oil with better quality. The poor quality of palm oil and rate of easily deterioration can be reduced by carrying out proper mechanization, improvement on semi-mechanized and eradication of traditional method of extraction.
