Transparency Meter* is a tool for measuring the transparency, translucency and clarity of materials in the form of solids, liquids or gels. Measurement is based on a new method which is superior to the subjective visual observation or direct transmission methods. The method is based on light scattering effect through various media using a laser … Read more

The *Laser Induced Fluorescence Spectrofluorimeter (LIFmeter) is designed to detect chlorophyll content in both crude and refined vegetable oils. It exhibits a very high sensitivity compared to the conventional spectrophotometer method. Operation is as simple as filling a cuvette chamber and pressing the measure button.

Palm oil products blended with liquid oils were successfully used to produce a pourable margarine. The formulated blend was processed in a Schroeder Kombinator pilot plant using the holding method (Melmick,1969). Performance test on the products was based on their pourability, vicosity, spreadability at various storage temperatures. This pourable margarine had performance characteristics at 23°C … Read more

Elaeis guineensis and Elaies oleifera are the two species of oil palm. In Malaysia, E. guineensis is the major crop planted since it produces high oil yield. However, E. oleifera produces higher unsaturated oil compared to E. guineensis but has lower yield. E. oleifera also has the advantage of slow height increment. In order to introgress the high unsaturation oil trait into E. guineensis, oil palm breeders … Read more

Surface active agent or surfactant is a molecule that are amphiphatic moieties and preferentially sits at an interface between two immiscible media when placed in them. The presence of the molecule at the interface reduces the surface tension and promotes the miscinility of the two media. Because the molecule is active at the interface, it … Read more
