eng Technique and technological aspects of palm oil (Elaeisguineensis) processing in Ghana The importance of oils and fats in human nutrition is well known. They give us a lot of energy and vitamins in our diet. About 71% of edible oils are derived from plant Sources. Palm oil is one of the best plant oils in the world. Its uses have now moved from just edible oil to industrial uses like biodiesel. The production of oil palm has expanded rapidly in respond to the growing world population and the rising living standards. In addition, technological improvements have lead to higher production levels and improvement in product quality. This has also pared a way for the development of technologies for the processing of non food products using palm oil as the raw material. Palm oil originated from tropical Africa and Ghana was one time a leading producer of this crop. The Malaysians therefore came to Ghana to learn the techniques of’ growing this crop and behold they are one of the leading producers of it today. in the world whiles Ghana, from whom they leant the technical still marks time. The researcher is therefore interested in how best the production of Palm oil can be maximized. Taking into consideration the local way of production, the modern factory way of production and how to blend and improve on it. The researcher is of the view that, to increase production. One must not only increase the production of the raw material but waste must also be minimized. He therefore looked at postharvest operations. Finally, oils produced locally and that produced from a factory were compared and recommendations made. Processing, Palm Oil, Technological aspects, Ghana, human nutrition
