Palm-based Body WashRising environmental concerns and stricter regulatory frameworks are driving the demand for bio- based raw materials across various sectors, such as laundry, personal care and cosmetics. The growing demand for bio-based raw materials in particular surfactant, is expected to boost the demand for methyl ester sulphonates (MES), a renewable, palm oil derived surfactant, … Read more
Food-grade Palm-based Hydraulic OilHydraulic machinery is an integral part of daily operations, spanning various industries including aviation, construction, automotive, trucking, industrial manufacturing, merchant shipping, and marine cargo handling. In these systems, hydraulic oil functions as a power transmission medium, enabling the movement, control, and operation of various components. According to a market report, the global … Read more
The technology is a combination of system and suitable hardware for an artificial intelligence (AI) based image processing for detecting oil palm FFB ripeness, achieving high-accuracy geo-tagging, and efficient data management. The manual harvesting of oil palm fresh fruit bunches (FFB) is labour-intensive, prone to human error, and inefficient due to inconsistent ripeness assessments, labour … Read more
Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) production in Southeast Asia, particularly Malaysia and Indonesia, is threatened by a pathogenic fungi, Ganoderma boninense. Infected oil palm debris left to rot in plantations is an important source of inoculum for the pathogen. Root contact with unattended infected debris is known to be the primary source of infection that spreads … Read more
Next-generation sequencing technologies have resulted in the identification of a large number of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers in the genome. In comparison to other marker systems such as amplified fragment length polymorphisms and simple sequence repeats, SNP markers are amenable to automation, high-throughput, and cost-effective genotyping (Saxena et al., 2018). SNP markers are commonly … Read more
