Palm fruits are extremely hard. They must be softened before anything can be done. The first step is to cook them for one hour with high-pressure, high-temperature steam (300 psi, 140 degrees Celsius). The high temperature will make the palm fruit soften, it is easy for palm fruit threshing, and avoid the damage of palm nut. At the same time, steaming destroy the enzymes in the fruits and avoid the increase of FFA content in the palm oil.
