The inexorable expansion of oil palm plantations has been a major driver of biodiversity loss in the tropics. This is particularly evident in Malaysia and Indonesia, where the majority of the world’s oil palm is cultivated. In Latin America oil palm acreage has also been steadily increasing, especially in countries such as Colombia, the largest producer by far. However, information on the biolo...

six hundred day old unsexed broiler chicks were used in a 35-day trial to compare the effects of soybean oil, palm oil and fish oil supplementation on the performance of broilers in terms of feed intake, weight gain and feed conversion. the chicks were randomly distributed following a completely randomized design in four groups having three replications per treatment. each treatment had 150 bir...

PT. Karya Tanah Subur (KTS) is a company engaged in the oil palm plantation and processing business located Padang Sikabu Village, Kaway XVI sub-district, Aceh Barat Regency. The resulting production crude CPO (Crude Palm Oil) or Kernel (PK) shells. In oil, Boiling Station (sterilizer) one of most important machines, because if sterillizer machine damaged it will affect process factory. purpose...

Indonesia is the largest palm-oil producing country, covering almost 80 percent of global production. With extensive production capacity, this research seeks to analyze linkages between palm oil and its impact on economy by individual monthly expenditure. To reveal connections, analyzes Dutch Disease phenomenon in Indonesia, which explains how non-tradable sector, industry, affects tradable sec...

Oxidized unsaturated fatty acids may contribute to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. In the present study, we examined the effects of heated palm oil mixed with 2% cholesterol diet on serum lipid profile, homocysteine and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) levels in estrogen-deficient rats. Twenty-four female Sprague Dawley rats were ovariectomized and then were divided equally ...

Palm oil is shown to have antioxidant, anticancer and cholesterol lowering effects. It is resistant to oxidation when heated compared to other frying oils such as soy oil. When a frying oil is heated repeatedly, it forms toxic degradation products, such as aldehydes which when consumed, may be absorbed into the systemic circulation. We have studied the effects of taking soy or palm oil that wer...

This study is concerned with the detection of adulterated ghee with various levels of palm oil and beef tallow with the application of particular chemical characteristics of ghee, palm oil and beef tallow namely sterol, and fatty acids profiles by response surface methodology (RSM). Among the parameters investigated, If the fatty acid profile is modeled under the optimized conditions, the detec...

Oleochemicals refer to chemicals from natural oils and fats of both plant and animal origins. However, they also include those derivatives derived from the subsequent modification of carboxylic acid group of fatty acids by chemical or biological means, and other compounds obtained from further reactions of these derivatives. Prior to 1980, about 90% of the raw materials for oleochemical industr...

This essay draws on insights from ethnographic and historical research in Indonesia to challenge a stubborn dualism that presents farmers as subsistence-oriented risk-averse, contrast plantation corporations which are assumed maximize productivity profit. Drawing this dualism, setting aside centuries of enthusiastic farmer engagaement growing global market crops, oil palm their government suppo...
