Abstract
The palm oil (Elaeis guineensis) industry is a significant contributor to Malaysia's economic expansion. The palm oil supply from Malaysia has seemingly expanded during the past two decades because of a substantial rise in production. Currently, in Malaysia, the type of refining used is physical refining. This method involved the processing stages of degumming, bleaching, deodorization, post refinery and extraction. Refined, bleached, and deodorized palm oil (RBDPO) is reported to contain high amount of 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol esters (3-MCPDE) and glycidyl esters (GE) due to high temperature deodorization step. High level of 3-MCPD and GE in refined palm oil will affecting people health. 3-MCPD and GE can be found in refined vegetable oils and fats where is generated during the refining of crude oils at various temperatures over an extended period. This project mainly focused on possible methods, physical and chemical refining to reduce 3-MCPD and GE to tolerable limits with the lower cost of production. The methods approached can reduced both 3-MCPD and GE to O ppm.
