The red palm-based extruded snack, combined with natural nutrient (i.e. carotenes) is a new concept for snack food with high commercial potential in the Chinese market. The product can be sold as niche product with better overall acceptance compared to the commercial extruded snacks. In addition, its processing is simple and operational friendly (without major … Read more

Technologies offered are the formulation of liquid chocolate filling fat, the method for production and baking of the mooncake, which includes methods to avoid fat migration. The chocolate filling fat remains in liquid state at room temperature during and even after the baking of mooncakes. Main Researcher: Niu YuetingEmail: jhyoong@mpob.gov.my

MPOB 01 margarine is applicable in a very wide range of temperate from 5°C-35°C. Eliminating the requirement to have two dedicated formulations for refrigerated margarine, which is applicable from 5°C-25°C and non-refrigerated margarine which is applicable from 25°C-35°C.

The invention is a lightweight threewheeled utility farm vehicle equipped with a hybrid power electric sprayer system. The hybridisation lies on the two sources of energy connected in parallel either to charge a battery or to power the sprayer. The machine could carry up to 200 litres of water-chemical mixing at a time and able … Read more

CPS3 originated from amongst DxPs planted at MPOB Research Station Hulu Paka, Terengganu. The outstanding yield performance of a particular individual with fresh fruit bunches (FFB) of 198.80 kg palm-1 yr-1 and oil to bunch (O/B) of 35.22% led to the cloning of this ortet in 2001.
