Palm Based MeatPlant-based meat analogues (PBMA) have experienced rapid global growth in recent years, driven by increasing consumer demand for food that is healthier, more affordable and environmentally sustainable (Singh et al., 2021; United Nations, 2019). Despite this growing popularity, many PBMA products currently available in the market remain relatively expensive and less accessible to … Read more

Biocompatible Lipid-BasedTocotrienols exhibited multifaceted health benefits, catering to the needs of specific populations (Meganathan & Fu, 2016). However, being a small molecule lipophilic compound, tocotrienols require innovative delivery systems to develop products with targeted nutritional benefits. Lipid-based drug delivery system (LBDDS) provides the solution allowing end application in soft gel encapsulation. Previous studies with selfemulsifying … Read more

Dietray FibrePalm-based dietary fibre is an innovative functional food ingredient derived from palm fruit fibre through mechanical processing. The technology converts palm fruit fibre into highvalue dietary fibre suitable for food applications, particularly as a fibre enrichment ingredient in bakery and functional food products.

Sawit EcoThermThe rapid increase in heat flux within modern data centres, driven by highperformance computing, artificial intelligence, and hyperscale cloud infrastructure, has exposed the limitations of conventional air- and water-cooling systems (Al Kez et al., 2025; Li et al., 2025; Veigas et al., 2025). These traditional cooling approaches are associated with high energy consumption and, … Read more

GAIN#1Malaysia was a dominant force in oleochemical processing throughout the 1980s. Since then, Indonesia has steadily eroded that lead, recording a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 13.5% between 2015 and 2022, compared to Malaysia’s modest 2.3% (Figure 1). While Indonesia has aggressively expanded into downstream oleochemical activities, Malaysia remains confined to basic oleochemical production, … Read more

HVL Base OilIn the world of manufacturing and heavy industry, power is nothing without protection. Industrial gear oil is the specialised lubricant designed to protect enclosed gear sets operating under high loads, extreme temperatures, and intense pressure. Unlike standard automotive lubricants, these oils are specifically formulated to maintain a durable film between metal surfaces, thereby … Read more

SawitEcoFlexCurrently, the global rubber industry is heavily dependent on petroleum-based rubber processing oils, particularly aromatic oils [e.g., distillate aromatic extract (DAE) and treated distillate aromatic extract (TDAE)], which are associated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), compounds linked to carcinogenic risks have raised increasing regulatory and environmental concerns (Zhang et al., 2025). Concurrently, the growing availability … Read more

SawitSCANOil palm fresh fruit bunch (FFB) grading at palm oil mills is still largely performed manually by human workers, making the process highly dependent on labour and often subject to disputes over grading results. Typically, only 50 to 100 samples are assessed, which are assumed to represent the entire consignment of 5 to 20 t … Read more

Oil Palm-based Broiler Feed FormulationsThe broiler feed industry has evolved significantly over the decades, driven by the need for efficient and cost- effective nutrition to support the rapid growth of broiler chickens. Traditionally, conventional feed formulations have relied heavily on corn and soybean meal as primary sources of energy and protein, respectively. However, with fluctuating … Read more

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
