A basic glycoprotein, which was recognized by IgE from oil palm pollinosis patients, has been purified from oil palm pollen (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.), which is a strong allergen and causes severe pollinosis in Malaysia and Singapore. Soluble proteins were extracted from defatted palm pollen with both Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.8) and Na-acetate buffer (pH 4.0). The allergenic glycoprotein was purifi...

Abstract Palm oil in Indonesia are producing the Crude Oil (CPO) with highest export world. CPO production increasing from 17,77 million to 31,49 tons 2013 and still increases. Currently Indonesian government projected use palm as source produce biodiesel replace fossil fuel. However, evaluate of should consider environmental aspect. Life cycle assessment appropriate tools overall productions i...

OBJECTIVE To examine the potential effect of a tax on palm oil on hyperlipidemia and on mortality due to cardiovascular disease in India. DESIGN Economic-epidemiologic model. MODELING METHODS A microsimulation model of mortality due to myocardial infarction and stroke among Indian populations was constructed, incorporating nationally representative data on systolic blood pressure, total cho...

The continuous and rapid growth of aquaculture in terms of size and annual total production has resulted in the need to seek for pragmatic measures to reduce the cost of production which feeding covers approximately 60%. This present work reviews the advances made in the use of palm oil as an alternative lipid source in aquafeeds. In this review it is documented that with respect to price, avai...

Oil palm is expected to make a significant contribution to the predicted two-fold increase in demand for vegetable oils over the next forty years. Given the current expansion of the oil palm, there is much debate on the sustainability of oil palm due to deforestation and habitat destruction that is occurring in Indonesia, raising serious concerns regarding the sustainability of this cultivation...

The mechanical properties of medium carbon steel (0.36C) were investigated under two different quenching media (water and palm oil). The properties are: the strengths, impact and hardness of the material. The investigations centered on unheat treated, normalized; water and palm oil quenched, and tempered conditions. The tempering temperature is 200°C. An AISI steel of grade C1035 was used for c...

The binary effect of pulverized fuel ash (PFA) and palm oil fuel ash (POFA) on heat of hydration of aerated concrete was studied. Three aerated concrete mixes were prepared, namely, concrete containing 100% ordinary Portland cement (control sample or Type I), binary concrete made from 50% POFA (Type II), and ternary concrete containing 30% POFA and 20% PFA (Type III). It is found that the tempe...

SE Asian corporations – Golden Agri-Resources, Kuala Lumpur Kepong, Sime Darby, Olam International, Wilmar International, and Felda Global Ventures – are seeking to expand their palm oil business in West and Central Africa. Palm oil has been identified as a driver of both tropical deforestation and climate change, and this expansion also often has financial risks due to concerns about negligenc...

In this study, optical and thermal properties of normal grade and winter grade palm oil biodiesel were investigated. Surface Plasmon Resonance and Photopyroelectric technique were used to evaluate the samples. The dispersion curve and thermal diffusivity were obtained. Consequently, the variation of refractive index, as a function of wavelength in normal grade biodiesel is faster than winter gr...
