Article Abstract
The palm oil mill effluent (POME) from palm milling oil activities is discharged into various water bodies which poses several environmental problems including turbidity, increases COD and BOD, adds oil and grease, increases total nitrogen, and other pollutants. Therefore, it requires effective treatment to remove the pollutants before disposal. The objective was to critically discuss the performance of POME pretreatments along with their limitations. To offer a coverage on the present less efficient technologies, the opportunities and challenges of advanced pretreatments that combine magnetic materials and natural composites as adsorbents are comprehensively reviewed here. Moreover, potential of various magnetic materials for POME pretreatment has been described. Several existing pretreatment methods such as physical pretreatments, chemical pretreatments, coagulation-flocculation, and adsorption can remove pollutant content from POME with certain limitations and the use of magnetic composite adsorbents can enhance the treatment efficiency.

This study developed medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA)-enriched specialty fats for hand-grasp pancakes through enzymatic interesterification (EIE) using a soybean oil/fully hydrogenated coconut oil/fully hydrogenated palm oil blend (6:1:3 w/w/w) as the substrate. Orthogonal optimization achieved 99.85 % randomization efficiency under mild conditions (70 °C, 12 % lipase load, 4 h).

In this study, potato slices were fried in four different vegetable oils (corn, olive, palm olein, and sunflower) to investigate how oil type influences the characteristics of potato chips. The diffusion coefficient of oils was attempted to be correlated with the final moisture, oil uptake, and textural parameters of potato chips. The diffusion coefficients were determined using two approaches.

This study explored the changes in starch-protein-oil interactions during dough mixing and thermal-treated processes using palm oils with different melting points of 38 °C (PO38), 32 °C (PO32), and 24 °C (PO24), and their impact on roasted products quality. The solid fat content (SFC) of PO38, PO32, and PO24 were 29.35 %, 21.

Background: Mammary de novo lipogenesis is dynamic but total lipogenesis is not easily quantified because palmitic acid is also available from dietary absorption.
Objective: The study aimed to quantify the effect of dietary palmitic and stearic levels on mammary de novo lipogenesis using natural C enrichment differences in ingredients.
Methods: Twelve mid-lactation Holstein cows were used in a 4 x 4 Latin square design with 21 d periods.
