Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCrystallisation and Melting Behavior of Methyl Esters of Palm OilCheng Sit Foon, Yung Chee Liang, Noor Lida Habi Mat Dian et al.The methyl esters of palm oil, which consists of saturated and unsaturated esters (0.6 to 95.9% unsaturation) of the C12 to C18 fatty acids, solidify at the two temperature ranges, -52 to -45°C and -24 to 21°C, when the esters are cooled. When the esters are heated, they melt at two distinct temperatures, -25 and -33°C and a broad peak … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 5 · 31 May 2006 · 7,049 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLIPASE-CATALYZED TRANSESTERIFICATION OF PALM KERNEL OIL WITH DIALKYLCARBONATESTjahjono Herawan, M. Rüsch Gen. KlaasLipase-catalyzed transesterifications-especially in a solvent-free medium-are important for industrial applications because such systems would have an enormous advantage by avoiding the problem of separation, toxicity and flammability of organic solvents. However, the organic solvent-free alcoholysis, especially methanolysis, does not give high conversions. The same problem also occurs when ethyl or methyl acetate are used as acyl acceptors. The main problems … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 6 May 2014 · 6,793 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnzymatic Synthesis of Palm Alkyl Ester Using Dialkyl Carbonate as an Alkyl DonorsRoila Awang, Choo Yuen MayProblem statement: Though efficient in terms of reaction yield and time, the chemical approach to synthesizing alkyl ester has drawback such as difficulties in the recovery of glycerol and the need for removal of salt residue. On the other hand, biocatalyst allow for synthesis of specific alkyl esters and easy recovery of glycerol. However, the solvent-free alcoholysis, does not give … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,235 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study of Residual Oils Recovered from Spent Bleaching Earth: Their Characteristics and ApplicationsLoh Soh Kheang, Cheng Sit Foon, Choo Yuen May, Ma Ah NganThis study described the extraction of residual oils of spent bleaching earth (SBE) from palm oil refining industry, the properties and applications of residual oils obtained there from. Residual oils of SBE (acid-activated, WAC and neutral, NC) were recovered via solvent and supercritical-fluid (SC-CO2) extraction. The yields of residual oils recovered from WAC were higher than those from NC using … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2006 · 9,231 accessesView PDF Cite
