Palm-based Vegan Mayonnaise
Mayonnaise 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 oil, acidifying agents (vinegar, lemon, or lime juice at a minimum of 2.5% by weight as citric or acetic acid), egg yolks, and other permitted ingredients such as salt, carbohydrate sweeteners, spices, flavourings, monosodium glutamate, sequestrants, and crystallisation inhibitors (Widerström et al., 2017).

Red Palm Oil (RPO) Candy
Candy is a popular confectionery enjoyed by people of all ages. Traditionally, candy has been seen as a sweet indulgence with little to no nutritional value. However, with growing consumer demand for functional foods, there is a shift towards confectionery products that offer both taste and health benefits.

Red Palm Oil (RPO) Chocolate Spread
Chocolate spread is a beloved confectionery product enjoyed by people of all ages, particularly children. Commonly used as a spread on bread, pancakes, or as a filling in baked goods, it comes in various types such as plain, milk, or flavoured varieties. Supermarkets typically stock chocolate spread in glass jars or plastic tubs, with popular brands including Nutella, Hershey, and Cadbury. According to Statistica Market Insights (2025), the global chocolate spread market is projected to reach USD140.10 billion in 2025, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.74% from 2025 to 2030. In Malaysia, the market is forecasted to be worth USD1.54 billion, boasting an impressive annual CAGR of 8.19% over the same period.

Red Palm Oil (RPO) Beverage
Beverage 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 reach USD526.5 million by the end of 2023, with an estimated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3%, potentially expanding to USD754.0 million by 2033 (Future Market Insights, 2023). This growth is primarily driven by the rising consumer preference for healthier and naturally sourced beverages.

Palm-based Emulsions For Oilfield Cleaning
Oilfield 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, non-biodegradable emulsions, which pose significant environmental risks, including water contamination and long-term ecological damage.

Palm-based Body Wash
Rising 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, eco-friendly and better performance and available locally. MES offers several advantages such as high detergency in hard water conditions, readily biodegradable nature and low toxicity, which give MES an advantage over their traditional rival surfactant.

Food-grade Palm-based Hydraulic Oil
Hydraulic 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 hydraulic oil market volume was estimated at 1.76 million tonnes in 2025 and is expected to reach 2.18 million tonnes by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.37% during the forecast period (2025-2030) (Mordor Intelligence, 2024). In terms of market size, another market study reported that the global hydraulic oils market was valued at USD8.7 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD10.2 billion by 2029, growing at 3.2% CAGR from 2024 to 2029 (MarketsandMarkets, 2024). The key drivers of growth in the hydraulic fluids market are the rising demand for hygienically processed food, the rising need for hydraulic fluids from construction, mining, agricultural and marine sectors, and the growing adoption of automation in industries.

TT692: I.M.B.A.S.: Integrasi Sistem Mengesan Buah Sawit Masak

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 shortages, and the challenges of inspecting dense canopies. Traditional methods rely on visual inspection, leading to suboptimal harvest timing, reduced oil yield, and increased operational costs.

TT691: Pengurusan Perosak Bersepadu (IPM) Ganoderma

Norsuzaini — Thu, 19 Jun 2025 01:00:18 +0000

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 in the soil. In general, numerous methods have been utilised for the management of basal stem rot (BSR) disease in oil palm plantations, including cultural techniques, mechanical, chemical and biological controls, but with little success (Idris, 2011). The oil palm biomass provides a substrate for the breeding of pest such as rhinoceros beetle (Oryctes rhinoceros) and serves as a source of Ganoderma sp. inoculum, to initiate basal stem rot infection. An alternative approach has been adopted by utilising wood degrading fungi to accelerate biomass degradation and minimise the inoculum of Ganoderma during replanting of oil palm.

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 used for genetic improvement through various studies such as construction of genetic map (Ting et al., 2023), elucidation of marker-trait associations, genome- wide association studies and genomic selection (Serdari et al., 2024; Kwong et al., 2017). SNP genotyping was performed using either fixed- arrays or genotyping-by-sequencing platforms. In the oil palm industry, most of the biotechnology research is currently using sequencing-based DNA markers for genomics-guided breeding. Utilisation of sequencing-based DNA markers require additional bioinformatics analysis and the cost per data point is higher compared to array-based with optimised SNP panel. Moreover, genotype calls of sequencing are not consistent across different experiments.
