Table 7

Fatty acids composition (%) of palm fatty acids mixture (pfam) before solvent crystallisation and saturated fatty acid (sfas) after methanol crystallisation at optimal conditions.

Operation	Lauric acid	Myristic acid	Palmitic acid	Stearic acid		Yield of SFAs %	Oleic acid	Linoleic acid	Linolenic acid		Yield of USFAs %
PFAM	0.2	1.0	42.3	4.3	47.8	–	42.1	9.9	0.2	52.2	–
SFAs1	–	0.5	68.3	7.0	75.8	53.6	20.2	4.0	–	24.2	46.4
SFAs2	–	–	90	5.8	95.8	48.9	4.2	–	–	4.2	51.1

SFAs: saturated fatty acids; USFAs: unsaturated fatty acids; PFAM: palm fatty acids mixture; SFAs1: first crystallisation; SFAs2: second crystallisation.
