• What is palm oil mill effluent?
  • During oil palm milling process, it generates a huge amount of palm oil biomass such as oil palm (kernel) shells, fibers, empty fruit bunches (EFB), and liquid waste as palm oil mill effluent (POME) . The amount of palm oil biomass increases with the increasing palm oil production.

  • How much oleic acid is in oil palm kernel?
  • The oil palm kernel contains about 45¨C50% oil, which is abundant in lauric acid (C12:0, 45¨C52%), myristic acid (C14:0, 15¨C17%) and oleic acid (C18:1 (13¨C19%) (Mohamed Halim et al. 2016).
  • Can palm kernel meal be used as a bioactive peptide?
  • Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative Policies and ethics This book chapter explores scientific interventions aimed at improving the utilization of palm kernel meal (PKM), a by-product obtained during the extraction of palm oil. The chapter emphasizes the potential of PKM as a source of bioactive peptides and its…
  • Is oil palm easy to grow?
  • Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) is a plant of South African origin, easy to grow because it adapts to different climate and soil conditions (Ferreira et al. 2021). The oil palm fruit consists of the mesocarp and the palm kernel, which accounts for about 40¨C50% of the fruit¡¯s total weight.
