Frontiers From Agroforestry to Agroindustry: Smallholder
Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) originated in the tropical rain forest region of West Africa (Hartley, 1988). It produces palm oil, which has been cultivated in Ghana for thousands of years (Sowunmi, 1999; Maley and Chepstow-lusty, 2001) as part of a mixed agroforesty system for local and domestic use.

Dry Fractionation - AOCS
In edible oil processing, a fractionation process consists of a controlled cooling of the oil, thereby inducing a partial, or 榝ractional? crystallization. The remaining liquid (olein) is then separated from the solid fraction (stearin) by means of a filtration or centrifugation.
