  • What is a palm kernel?
  • Palm kernel within a palm fruit. The palm kernel is the edible seed of the oil palm fruit. The fruit yields two distinct oils: palm oil derived from the outer parts of the fruit, and palm kernel oil derived from the kernel.
  • What is palm kernel expeller?
  • Palm kernel expeller ( PKE) is an important byproduct of the palm oil industry in many Asian and African countries. Depending on the extraction method, PKE contains between 120 and 230 g/kg crude protein [ 1] and varying amounts of indigestible shell, which can be as high as 10% [ 2 ].
  • What is palm kernel meal?
  • Palm kernel meal is the main by-product of the palm kernel oil extraction process. It is a highly fibrous and medium grade protein feed, hence most suited to ruminant or rabbit feeding ( Pickard, 2005 ). Palm kernel resulting from mechanical extraction contains 5-12% oil and solvent-extracted palm kernel meal contains 0.5-3% oil ( Chin, 2001 ).
  • What is the difference between solvent-extracted Palm kernel meal and expeller meal?
  • The less common solvent-extracted palm kernel meal contains less oil (about 3% DM) and slightly more protein (19% vs. 17% on average) than the expeller meal, but the cell wall constituents and minerals are only slightly affected by the extraction process. Palm kernel meal is dry and gritty and is not readily accepted by ruminants and pigs.
