Membrane Technologies in the Oil Industry and Their Potential Application for the Recovery of Phytonutrients From Palm Oil

Abstract: Palm oil is one of the most widely commercialised vegetable oils globally. This oil contains important phytonutrients, such as carotenoids (provitamin A), tocopherols and tocotrienols (vitamin E). These phytonutrients are thermally degraded and removed from crude palm oil (CPO) through bleaching techniques in the refinement process. This article focuses on using membrane technology as a green alternative to recover these compounds, specifically, the use of nanofiltration as a potential mechanism for recovering… Show more

“…Beyond its conventional applications as a vegetable oil in the food industry and for biodiesel production, CPO boasts properties that are particularly beneficial to the health sector, notably the pharmaceutical industry. Notably, tocotrienol, a potent antioxidant found in palm oil, strengthens the immune system and complements the components of vitamins A and E. Palm oil comprises various components that promote human health, including alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, gamma-carotene, sources of vitamin E (tocopherol, tocotrienol), lutein, sterols, unsaturated fatty acids and ubiquinone (Rada-Bula et al, 2023).…”
