Multiple products with various melting points and other properties demand a fractionation process able to handle sharp cuts for different liquid and solid fractions with crystallization and filtration under low temperatures. Lipochem not only offers the conventional fractionation processes but is also able to customize the process plants according to customers’ requirements.
We aim to optimize technologies for solvent fractionation that produces high value products such as tocopherols, carotenes and other antioxidants by collaborating with international membrane filter providers as well as incorporating solvent recovery systems.

Premium Oil Process
An example of a fruitful partnership between Lipochem and MPOB is the scale up for the production of a Novel Palm Olein (NoveLin) with cold stability.
The manufacturing process uses specially selected refined palm oil with other seed oils in complementary blends to provide for a selective group of triacylglycerols for fractionation. Fractionations of oils and fats is well-accepted process that is simple, non-chemical and makes use of the natual phenomenon of the oil components crystallizing out when subjected to cooling conditions.
The crystals are separated for use in different applications, while the liquid oil remains stable and clear at 0 ºC. The design of the crystallizers and filter press are crucial to the success in maintaining product quality.
NoveLin, Premium Health Balance Cooking Oil is special because:
- It is formulated in accordance to World Health Organization (WHO) and American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines and is expected to show reduction in heart-related diseases
- It is a balanced oil that remains liquid at supermarket conditions in temperate countries
- It is low in saturation, but high in monounsaturation, and a source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and is free from cholesterol and trans fatty acids
- It has good oxidative stability compared to common unsaturated oils
It can be used in:
- General household cooking, frying and as salad dressing
- Industrial food processing
- Blended with other native vegetable oils
