Fractionation is practiced mainly on palm oil, palm kernel oil, lard, tallow, partially hydrogenated fish or soybean oil and anhydrous milk fat. At ambient or low temperature, a number of oils or fats present themselves in the form of a mixture of a crystallized high melting point fraction and of a liquid low melting point fraction. The process comprises three steps: Conditioning, Crystallization and Filtration.
