چکیده
The chemical and physical characteristics of Malaysian palm kernel and its products are discussed in this article. The main products derived from palm kernel are palm kernel oil, palm kernel olein and palm kernel stearin whereas the by-products are palm kernel meal and palm kernel fatty acid distillate. The major composition of the kernel is oil (49%), followed by carbohydrate (26.1%), protein and crude fibre (8% each). The major triacylglycerol content in palm kernel oil and its fraction is trilaurin. Even though palm kernel oil is highly saturated, its melting point (27.3oC-28.0oC) is relatively low due to high proportion of short chain fatty acids. The range of iodine value of palm kernel oil is 16.5 to 18.75, whilst for its fraction, palm kernel olein and stearin, is 20.6 minimum and 8.0 maximum respectively. The residue after mechanical pressing is known as palm kernel meal, contains carbohydrate (50.3%), protein (19.8%), crude fibre (16.7%) and oil (8%), which made it suitable for animal feed application. The major component of palm kernel fatty acid distillate (a by-product of palm kernel oil refining) is total fatty matter (95%). Some insights on the quality requirement of palm kernel products based on Malaysian Standards are also discussed in this article.

Fatty Acid Composition of Edible Oils in the Malaysian Market, with Special Reference to Trans-fatty Acids
A total of 113 samples of various types of palm and palm kernel oil products, their fractions, palm-based and non-palm-based cooking oils obtained from local manufacturers and the retail market were analysed for their trans-fatty acid compositions and contents by capillary gas chromatography. Trans-fatty acids were generally absent in crude palm and palm kernel oils. However, they were present ...
متن کاملPalm kernel fruit fiber reinforced gypsum-cement based wall panels: It’s physical and mechanical characteristics
Agricultural waste fibers have been found to be suitable as reinforcement in cement-based composites, but studies on oil palm fiber as reinforcement in gypsum-cement wall panels are scarce. A mixture of two equal weights of gypsum and cement, with water-binder ratios of 0.45 and 0.55 were prepared. In each mix a varying percentage of fiber contents of 2%, 3% and 4% by weight of the binders were...

متن کاملSynthesis and Optimization Process of Ethylene Glycol-Based Biolubricant from Palm Kernel Oil (PKO)
Internationally exploited lubricants are derived from coal and petroleum. Due to their high consumption and effects of their long-term pollution on the environment, it is imperative to use renewable and cheap feedstock for the synthesis of bio-based lubricants. This study presents the synthesis and optimization process of Ethylene Glycol (EG) based bio-lubricant from palm kernel oil. Palm Kerne...
