    Abstract: A process for producing low free fatty acids (FFA)-crude palm fruit oil, the process including the steps of layering (101) oil palm fresh fruit bunches (FFB) with at least one fruit ripening composition, incubating (102) the oil palm FFB for a time range of between 1 to 48 hours, segregating (103) the oil palm oil palm loose fruitlets and/or the partially stripped oil palm FFB to produce oil palm oil palm loose fruitlets, stripping (104) the partially stripped oil palm FFB to further produce oil palm oil palm loose fruitlets, cleaning the oil palm oil palm loose fruitlets, extracting undiluted crude palm fruit containing an aqueous phase of between 20 wt.% to 60 wt.%, oil phase of between 30 wt.% to 70 wt.% and non-oily solid phase of between 0 wt.% to 10 wt.% via an oil extractor apparatus (107) comprising a sterilisation unit (201), a digestion unit (202), a pressing unit (203) and a conveyor (200), recovering the undiluted crude palm fruit oil, mixing the recovered undiluted crude palm fruit oil with dilution water to produce diluted crude palm fruit oil containing an aqueous phase of between 20 wt.% to 80 wt.%, an oil phase of between 20 wt.% to 60 wt.% and a non-oily solid phase of between 0 wt.% to 10 wt.% and clarifying and/or centrifuging the diluted crude palm fruit oil or the recovered undiluted crude palm fruit oil, followed by purifying and drying wherein the total chlorine content of the low FFA-crude palm fruit oil is in a range of between 0.5 ppm to 5 ppm, phosphorus level of the crude palm fruit oil is in a range of between 5 ppm to 20 ppm and FFA levels of the crude palm fruit oil is in a range of between 0.5% to 5%.
