  • What are the physicochemical properties of palm oil?
  • In general, the quality of palm oil is determined by the percentage of free fatty acid, moisture, and dirt content. Other parameters that are indirectly related to the composition of edible oils include iodine value and saponification value. The major physicochemical properties of palm oil are presented in Table 1.
  • What percentage of palm oil comes from mesocarp?
  • The fruit of oil palm yields about 20-22% of its oil from the fibrous mesocarp and 10% of the total yield is from the white kernel flesh (Berger & Noraini, 2005). The application of palm oil and palm kernel oil are very limited in their original form due to their specific chemical composition.
  • Are palm stearin and soybean oil modified by chemical interesterification?
  • In this study, blends of refined, bleached and deodorized palm stearin (PS), palm kernel oil (PKO) and soybean oil (SBO) were modified by chemical interesterification (CIE).
  • What type of oil does oil palm produce?
  • Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) produces two different types of oil which are palm oil and palm kernel oil. The fruit of oil palm yields about 20-22% of its oil from the fibrous mesocarp and 10% of the total yield is from the white kernel flesh (Berger & Noraini, 2005).
  • What determines the quality of palm oil?
  • The quality of palm oil depends on its physicochemical state. The moisture content of any food is an index of its water activity (aw) (Edelmayer et al. 2003). The shelf life of fats and oils is indirectly affected by water, which leads to autocatalytic hydrolysis of oil, resulting in a higher FFA content and bacteria activity (Ahmed et al. 2016).
