The large surface area of the emulsion system allows for the rapid penetration of actives such as vitamins and antioxidants into the skin. The application of nanoemulsions with lipid or non-soluble materials has produced enhanced skin properties. Incorporation of lipophilic materials such as ceramide, lecithin and vitamin A in nanoemulsions has resulted in an increase in skin hydration.

The country has been one of the largest producers and exporters of palm oil products in the world. Malaysia is also one of the main producers and exporters of palm kernel products, especially of palm kernel oil and palm kernel cake (PKC). PKC is an important by-product of palm kernel oil extraction. It has long been utilized either as an ingredient in animal compound feeds, or as a straight animal feed, particularly for ruminants.

They make up a versatile class of nitrogen substituted molecules with a high degree of chemical reactivity. They can be a precursor as well as an intermediate for many important organic molecules. Hydrazides of palm oil contains an amide, an anmmine group and a long-chain alkyl group, R. The importance of hydrazides is due to their chemical structure i.e. the presence of an  amide group attached to a primary amine group. Many interesting and useful chemicals can be derived from this multifunctional structure.

Retailers and consumers have become ‘price-sensitive’ to the many types of candles available in the market. Of all the basic types of candles, votives, container candles and pillars are currently the most popular. One of the essential requirements to develop a candle making company in this growing market is to expand the product range on offer. These days, many of the non-traditional candle retailers offer different types of candle retailers offer different types of candles for sale in three or four different departments, and now even hardware stores carry a line of candle products. Interestingly, health stores and also the local stores selling tobacco products display candles for sale on their shelves. With these additional ‘new’ retailers, a candle manufacturer can cater for the demand for new products specific to these markets.

It was introduced into Malaysia in 1969, and has been cultivated at the Agriculture Station, Sungai Udang, Melaka, during the paddy off-season. Sorghum belongs to the family Graminineae, similar to wheat, rice and maize. It can reach up to 4 m in height and grow well in warm climate with temperatures raging from 26C to 37C. Sorghum can be cultivated at 1200 m above sea level, and can tolerate high temperature, drought conditions and withstand water-logging for short periods.

From the large number of small activated carbon producers in Malaysia, a total production of about 20 000t yr1 has been reported. The demand for activated carbon is forecast to rise by 3%-5% per year in industrialized countries, with the growth in Asian countries projected at 10% per year. There are numerous applications for activated carbon.

This has resulted in an increased requirement for raw materials to fulfill the market demand. In Malaysia, MDF manufacturers are using rubberwood as their main raw material, and currently the supply of this material is getting scarce. It is feared that with  the decline  in raw material supply, the industry would be relocated to other countries where the raw material is plentiful.

Biomass such as EFB is used as mulch in the plantation to retain and recycle soil nutrients. In addition, all palm oil mills in Malaysia use fibre and shells as boiler fuel to produce steam for their processing needs and for electricity generation. However, a large amount of liquid biomass in the form of POME is also generated.

This is indicative that it is a good source material for biological performance, especially in a tropical climate such as in Malaysia, thus making anaerobic digestion the most economical and most applicable technology to treat POME. POME in the current open ponding system generates a huge amount of biogas which contain methane that has a global warming potential 21 times that of carbon dioxide. Hence, if biogas is harnessed, the emission of greenhouse gases can be potentially mitigated and the palm oil industry will be more sustainable.
