ABSTRACT

Palm pressed fibre (PPF) is a by-product of crude palm oil (CPO) extraction and has great potential as a source of phospholipids (PL). PPF was extracted from chloroform:methanol to extract total lipid, and polar lipid was separated using methanol. PL from PPF was fractionated by ethanol, and subsequently, the ethanol-soluble fraction was fractionated by acetone. Four fractions were obtained: ethanol-soluble, ethanolinsoluble, ethanol-acetone soluble, ethanol soluble-acetone insoluble. All fractions had different PL molecular species compositions. Different compositions of PL in the fractions resulted in different hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) values, emulsifying properties, and antioxidant activity. HLB value of crude PL from PPF was 6.07 that was suitable for water in oil (w/o) emulsion indicated by low emulsifying activity index (EAI) and emulsion stability index (ESI) in oil-water (o/w) emulsion systems. Ethanol-soluble and ethanol-acetone soluble fractions exhibited better emulsifying properties and higher HLB values of around 10. Crude PL and its fractions showed a potential antioxidant activity to prevent bulk soybean oil in a single antioxidant system. Synergism with α-tocopherol appeared in a binary antioxidant system indicated by low peroxide value compared to the single one. PL composition affected the ability of PL fractions as antioxidants.

TREATED OIL PALM FROND AND ITS UTILISATION AS AN IMPROVED FEEDSTUFF FOR RUMINANTS – AN OVERVIEW

Oil palm frond (OPF) is a biomass residue from oil palm plantations that have received increasing interest for its promise as roughage resources to overcome limitations of ruminant feeding. However, the use of OPF for livestock productivity is limited by its high lignocellulosic content and low nutritional value. Various physical, chemical, biological and physico-chemical treatments […]

THE SYNTHESIS OF sn-2 PALMITATE AS HUMAN MILK FAT SUBSTITUTE FROM PALM OIL FRACTIONS BY ENZYMATIC INTERESTERIFICATION – A REVIEW

Human milk fat substitute (HMFS) is structured lipids with characteristics similar to human milk fat used in infant formulas. HMFS is designed to contain 60%-70% palmitic acid at the sn-2 position and unsaturated fatty acids at the sn-1,3 positions in the triacylglycerol structure. HMFS is synthesised by enzymatic interesterification of vegetable oils or animal fats. […]
