CPO stands for Crude Palm Oil, which in Indonesian means crude palm oil. It is a vegetable oil extracted from the flesh of the oil palm fruit (mesocarp) and has not undergone further refining. CPO is an important raw material in various industries, including food, cosmetics, and fuel.
Palm kernel oil is an edible vegetable oil derived from the oil palm. The fatty acid composition of palm kernel oil is similar to that of coconut oil, both known as lauric oils. Unlike red-orange palm oil, yellow palm kernel oil comes from the further processing of palm kernels.
Palm kernel shells are part of the oil palm fruit located inside the coconut fiber which has been used by burning it in an incinerator as an energy source and is also used directly for paving roads on oil palm plantations.
Palm fiber, or palm oil fiber, is a natural fiber obtained from the processing of empty oil palm fruit bunches. This fiber has various uses, especially in industries that require strong, durable, and environmentally friendly materials.
Empty bunches are produced from fresh fruit bunches that are too ripe, and the fruit is separated from the bunch while it is still on the plantation or obtained from fresh fruit bunches that have undergone a boiling process and then the palm fruit is threshed from the bunch using a tool called a thresher.
