Palm oil is the most widely traded vegetable oil globally, with demand projected to increase substantially in the future. Almost all oil palm grows in areas that were once tropical moist forests, some of them quite recently. The conversion to date, and future expansion, threatens biodiversity and increases greenhouse gas emissions. Today, consumer pressure is pushing companies toward deforestat...

This paper presents work on developing a software system for predicting crop yield from climate and plantation data. At the core of this system is a method for unsupervised partitioning of data for finding spatio-temporal patterns in climate data using kernel methods which offer strength to deal with complex data. For this purpose, a robust weighted kernel k-means algorithm incorporating spatia...

<p class="E-JOURNALAbstractBodyEnglish">PT XYZ Belawan has a kernel crushing plant unit that produces Crude Palm Kernel Oil (CPKO) with 700 tons/day capacity. processing is carried out in two pressing stages. The first stage or press oil and cake, while the second meal. meal still contains 7-8% of content. This study aimed to determine amount CPKO yield, content, losses during palm proces...

The present study was carried out to examine the changes in functional properties of cholesterol-removed compound whipping cream made by β-CD treated cream and palm oil. Six different ratios of cream to palm oil (10:0 as control, 9:1, 8:2, 7:3, 6:4, and 5:5, v/v) were tested. The overrun percentage increased with an increased amount of palm oil. When the ratio of cream to palm oil was 10:0 (con...

Oil palm plantations are currently experiencing quite rapid growth; this has resulted in a large number of oil fruit processing industriespalm (crude oil) and kernel (palm kernel). The more that is processed, the liquid waste it produces. Liquid generated during production process can harm environment because high organic matter contained therein. purpose study was to analyze management industr...

As the main exporter in the oil palm industry, the need to improve the quality of palm oil has become the main interest among all the palm oil millers in Malaysia. To produce good quality palm oil, it is important for the miller to harvest a good oil palm Fresh Fruit Bunch (FFB). Conventionally, the main reference used by Malaysian harvesters is the manual grading standard published by the Mala...

The proliferation of oil palm plantations has led to dramatic changes in tropical landscapes across the globe. However, relatively little is known about the effects of oil palm expansion on biodiversity, especially in key ecosystem-service providing organisms like pollinators. Rapid land use change is exacerbated by limited knowledge of the mechanisms causing biodiversity decline in the tropics...

Pemanfaatan minyak dalam industri pangan dan non semakin meningkat dengan banyaknya temuan tentang proses sintesis oleokimia yang dapat diterapkan skala industri. MAG DAG digunakan sebagai bagian dari produk lemak sering dikaitkan pengemulsi lainnya. Sintesis dilakukan secara kimia enzimatis. Proses gliserolisis menggunakan enzim lipase biokatalis memerlukan energi relatif rendah serta menghasi...
