A new mixture of alkyl glycosides derived from palm oil (PO) or palm kernel oil (PKO) was synthesised. This mixture contains glycosylated disaccharide of either maltose or lactose with aliphatic chain that varies according to the PO or PKO fatty acids composition. The synthesis method produced no polymerised sugar unlike the production of the commercial glycosides (APG). The mixture only contai...

The object of this research is the cracking nuts oil palm (Elaesis guineensis). tree one greatest economic assets a nation can have, provided its importance realized and fully harnessed. After extraction from fruits, virtually all methods involved in kernel nut both traditional small-scale exist scattered or separate units operations. Hence, focused on designing unit incorporating separator for...

Palm oil is a plantation crop of high economic value and one the crops producing vegetable various other derivative products. processing factors that determine business productivity palm mill. The smoothness production process greatly influenced by reliability machines used. Ripple Mill machine meisn serves as seed breaker to separate shell from kernel. This study aims identify failures occur i...

The advances in industrial technology have led to a major rise the amount and forms of residue, especially during processing agricultural products. With paradigm shift towards renewable energy sustainability, there is much emphasis on biomass around world which generates an immense volume residues yearly. These are burgeoning issues because they not effectively managed utilized. Hence, one solu...

The objective of this study was to improve the method for determining chlorpyrifos, an organophosphorus insecticide, in various palm oil matrices. Chlorpyrifos was separated from the oil matrices using acetonitrile extraction and then subjected to the solid phase extraction (SPE) clean-up process. A silica-based SPE was used for the clean-up process. Quantification of the extracted chlorpyrifos...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of different species of oil palm shell (OPS) coarse aggregates on the properties of high strength lightweight concrete (HSLWC). Original and crushed OPS coarse aggregates of different species and age categories were investigated in this study. The research focused on two OPS species (dura and tenera), in which the coarse aggregates were...
