Abstract

Fresh palm-pressed fiber was subjected to soxhlet extraction and supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) extraction at 80 ˚C and 100bar to investigate the residue fiber oil yield percentage. The residue oil quality compared to the crude palm oil (CPO) extracted with press machine. According to the results, SE resulted in the highest value of OER with 11.423% based on sample dry weight comparing to the SC-CO2 extraction with 1.789%. The efficiency of SC-CO2 extraction techniques for recovery of OER from PPF was 15.66% at 100bar and 80˚C of those found with SE, respectively. However in term of overall quality. SC-CO2 extraction techniques far surpass Soxhlet extraction with DOBI of 2.565, PV of 1.58 meq O2/kg, moisture content of 0.039%, FFA percentage of 0.628% and impurities of 0.004%.
