This work and a series of successive works aim to subject various ratios of palm olein and palm stearin blends to chemical interesterification under different conditions of catalyst, temperature and time in order to obtain fat blends suitable for the production of vegetable butter (margarine) fortified with different natural vitamins and minerals and prepared by using nanotechnology. In this pa...

This study reports a novel protocol to increase plasma monounsaturated, polyunsaturated and saturated non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) in eight healthy volunteers (age 29-54 years and BMI 23-26 kg.m). This was achieved by feeding small boluses of fat at different time points (35 g at 0 min and 8 g at 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210 min) in combination with a continuous low-dose heparin infusion...

This study reports a novel protocol to increase plasma monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, and saturated nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) in eight healthy volunteers (age 29-54 yr, body mass index 23-26 kg/m(2)). This was achieved by feeding small boluses of fat at different time points (35 g at 0 min and 8 g at 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, and 210 min) in combination with a continuous low-dose hep...

The enzymatic synthesis of 1,3-dioleoyl-2-palmitoylglycerol (OPO), one of the main components of human milk fats, has been hindered by the relatively high cost of sn-1,3-specific lipases and the deficiency in biocatalyst stability. The sn-1,3-specific lipase from Aspergillus oryzae (AOL) is highly and efficiently immobilized with the polystyrene-based hydrophobic resin D3520, with a significant...

Fatty hydrazides (FH) have been successfully synthesized from palm oils by a one-step lipase catalyzed reaction. The synthesis was carried out by treating the oils with hydrazine hydrate at neutral pH using an immobilized lipase, Lipozyme as the catalyst. The percentages of conversion of RBD (refined, bleached and deodorized) palm oil (PO), RBD palm olein (POn), RBD palm stearin (PS) and RBD pa...

Abstract Palm stearin has the potential to alter use of beeswax. This study aimed assess effect palm as an edible coating on quality changes Cavendish banana during storage. The samples were stored within eight days with treatment combinations temperature (room temperature: 28 °C and 10 °C) application (control: without coating, coated stearin). During storage period, physicochemical properties...

The chemical and physical characteristics of Malaysian palm kernel and its products are discussed in this article. The main products derived from palm kernel are palm kernel oil, palm kernel olein and palm kernel stearin whereas the by-products are palm kernel meal and palm kernel fatty acid distillate. The major composition of the kernel is oil (49%), followed by carbohydrate (26.1%), protein ...

In this study, fatty haydroxamic acids (FHAs), which have biological activities as antibiotics and antifungal, have been synthesized via refluxing of triacylglycrides, palm olein, palm stearin or corn oil with hydroxylamine hydrochloride. The products were characterized using the complex formation test of hydroxamic acid group with zinc(I), copper(II) and iron(III), various technique methods in...
