Palm-based Vegan MayonnaiseMayonnaise and mayonnaise-type dressings are among the oldest emulsions, first commercially manufactured in the early 20th century (Moustafa, 1995). Traditional mayonnaise is a shear-thinning, viscoelastic, and highly viscous oil-in-water emulsion (Štern et al., 2001). The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) defines mayonnaise as an emulsified semi-solid food prepared from at least 65.0% vegetable … Read more

Red Palm Oil (RPO) BeverageBeverage emulsions are oil-in- water dispersions in which oils are uniformly distributed within a water-based solution with the aid of emulsifiers. These emulsions can be further enriched with vitamins, preservatives, and nutrients, depending on their solubility in either the oil or water phase. The global beverage emulsion market is projected to … Read more

Palm-based Emulsions For Oilfield CleaningOilfield cleaning is a crucial process in maintaining the efficiency and longevity of drilling operations. Contaminants such as drilling mud, oil residues, and other debris can accumulate in wellbores, oil rigs, and tools, leading to operational inefficiencies, equipment wear, and potential environmental hazards. Traditional oilfield cleaning solutions often rely on synthetic, … Read more

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

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
