Palmkernel

PALMKERNEL OIL.—Steadiness has ruled in this market, and stocks continued to be light, and the better tone in oils has been reflected. […] A local man, recently returned from Europe, expressed the view that Great Britain was to succeed to most of the palmkernel crushing industry formerly controlled by crushers in Hamburg, Germany.

The regulations specify the raw materials that may be used, namely lard, premier jus, oleomargarine, stearine oil, fish oil, and vegetable oils obtained from palmkernels, coconuts, groundnuts, sesameseed, sunflowerseed and cottonseed.

Taking palmkernels as an example, with an oil content of 52% on a dry basis, this would amount to 7.25% moisture on the whole seed (Cornelius, 1966). […] Palmkernels are separated from the press-cake from palm oil production.
