Developing New Opportunities for Innovative Palm Oil Products

Fats and oils that have been modified or restructured to incorporate new fatty acids are called structured lipids. Primarily, these fatty acids are either short or medium chain, and are preferentially essential fatty acids. The reasons for changing the fatty acid profile in the new oils are to introduce a new fatty acid into the existing oil, to reduce its saturation, improve nutritional requis...

PalmGHG, the RSPO greenhouse gas calculator for oil palm products

The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) is a non-profit association promoting sustainable palm oil through a voluntary certification scheme. Two successive science-based working groups on greenhouse gas (GHG) have been active in RSPO between 2009-2011, with the aim of identifying ways leading to meaningful and verifiable reduction of GHG emissions. One of the outputs is PalmGHG, a GHG cal...

Blending of Palm Oil and Palm Products with Other Oils and Fats for Food Applications

Blending helps extend the range of application of oils and fats. This is because most natural oils and fats have limited applications in their original form. Natural oils and fats may need to be modified to suit a particular product formulation. Blending is the simplest method used to modify oils and fats. From the palm fruits, a wide range of products can be derived including palm oil, palm ol...

Use of Palm Kernel Cake and Oil Palm By-Products in Compound Feed

Compound feed is a mixture of feed ingredients obtained from various sources. A feed ingredient is only a constituent of a compound feed and if used as the sole ration fed, has to be enriched further. The composition of a compound feed is determined by three main criteria, i.e. price, nutritional composition and the animal characteristics. The nutritional composition of a compound feed varies d...
