The coconut oil, coconut water and palm kernel oil was administered orally at a dose of 400mg/kg body weight to white albino rats to check for some effect on biochemical parameters. Twenty (20) rats divided into four (4) groups of five (5) rats each. One group was treated with distilled water and feed only serving as control, second group was treated with coconut water only while the third grou...

Background: Meta-analysis studies have documented that palm olein (PALM) predominant formulas reduce calcium and fat absorption, and bone mineralization in infants, but none have been documented for stool consistency and frequency. Objective: The study objective was to conduct a meta-analysis of published randomized clinical trials (RCTs) on the effect of PALM-based formulas on stool consistenc...

Vegetable oil causes problem when used as fuel in compression ignition engines. This problem is due to high viscosity and low volatility of vegetable oils, which can be minimized by the process of transesterification. The relatively high cost of refined vegetable oils render the resulting fuels unable to compete with petroleum derived fuel. To reduce the cost of biodiesel a relatively low cost ...

Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), which has received much interest in its use and further development for industrial applications, is a method that offers some advantages over conventional methods, especially for the palm oil industry. SC-CO₂ refers to supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) that uses carbon dioxide (CO₂) as a solvent which is a nontoxic, inexpensive, nonflammable, and nonpoll...

Though the Palm is mainly a business tool, many games have been developed for it and more are published daily. This article starts by examining the status of game development on the Palm today. To give an indication on what designing guidelines a game developer for the Palm should take into account, several "rules of thumb" are presented. A description is given of a successful Palm game, "Space...

The palm print contains a great deal of information which is of great research and application value. This paper provides palm print research methods, application, and the relationship between the palm print and cancer.

This study aims to investigate the ultraviolet (UV) absorption property of palm fiber and to reveal the mechanism underlying its UV-shielding behavior. The UV spectra of various solvent extracts of palm fiber were investigated. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and UV spectra were used to analyze the treated palm fiber, 100% α-cellulose, and raw palm fiber. The UV absorbances of pa...

By creating a handheld computer that succeeded where so many other palm computers had failed, Palm Computing quickly gained popularity in the personal organizer market in 1996 and 1997. Today the Palm OS accounts for over 80% of all operating systems installed on handheld computers. In the addition, over the past several years, new open documentation standards, freely available Software Develop...

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...
