Abstract: Palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD) is a by-product of crude palm oil (CPO) refining, which contains free fatty acid as the main component and can be used as a raw material to produce calcium soap. The supplementation of calcium soap to the feed of ruminant gives benefits to their health as well as to increase the quality and quantity of milk production. This research examined the various methods of calcium soap production i.e. modified fusion reaction using two different calcium sources and double decomposition process using two different calcium sources. The result showed that at the same mole ratio of Ca source to PFAD, the production of calcium soap using modified fusion method had better performance compared to double decomposition process. CaO showed to be the better source of calcium for modified fusion method of calcium soap production.
Keywords: Calcium Soap, PFAD, Modified Fusion Process, Double Decomposition Process.
