Cont.
Monoglycerides: only one fatty acid is bonded to the
glycerols
Diglycerides: consisting 2 fatty acid is bonded to the
glycerols

Fatty acid composition: vary in the number of
carbons present in the chain and in the structure
(saturated or unsaturated).
The length of fatty acid present in the triglycerides
fall within 12 to 20 carbon.
The number of carbon and structure will largelydefine the chemical and physical properties of the
oil.

PALM OILPalm oil has a balanced fatty acid composition in which the level of saturated fatty acids is
almost equal to that of the unsaturated fatty acids. Palmitic acid (44%-45%) and oleic acid
(39%-40%) are the major component acids, with linoleic acid (10%-11%) and only a trace
amount of linolenic acid. The low level of linoleic acid and virtual absence of linolenic acid
make the oil relatively stable to oxidative deterioration

PALM KERNEL OIL
Palm kernel oil is obtained from the kernel of the oil palmfruit.
Its composition and properties differ significantly frompalm oil.
Palm kernel oil is similar to coconut oil in terms ofcomposition, and is produced by mechanical extraction ofthe kernels which are pre-dried in palm oil mills through apartial vacuum process.
The quality of the oil is excellent, with free fatty acids of the
crude oil generally below 2%. It is light yellow in colour andis refined physically to produce a very light coloured oilused for both edible and inedible purposes. The oil is alsosemi-solid at ambient temperatures.

Cont.
50% fatty acid in palm oil is saturated and the other
50 % is unsaturated.
Determine by referring to the iodine value (IV)
Shows that the palm oil can confers some stabilityagainst oxidation.
Physical properties which will be affected by the
structure of fatty acid:Melting point

Cont.
Saturated fatty acid:
long-chain carboxylic acids that usually have
between 12 and 24 carbon atoms and have no
double bonds
-

Cont.
Unsaturated fatty acid:
Have double bonds between carbon atoms.
two carbon atoms in the chain that are bound
next to either side of the double bond canoccur in a cis or trans configuration.

Cont.
Minor component:
carotenoids, tocopherols, sterols, phosphatides,
triterpenic, and aliphatic alcohols
Present less than 1% in the oil.
play a significant role in the stability and
refinabilityof the oil, increase the nutritive value
of the oil

Cont.
Carotenoids:
Between 500 and 700 ppm of carotenoids mainly
in the forms of alpha-and beta-carotenes
these carotenoids are thermally destroyed duringthe deodorization stage in order to produce the
desired color for a refinedoil
the presence of these carotenoids appears to offersome oxidative protection to the oil.

Palm oil PO consists mainly of palmitic acid
C16:0 (43.7%), stearic acid C18:0(4.4%), oleic acid C18:1 (39.9%) andlinoleic acid C18:2 (10.3%)
Minor components
Carotenoids: 500-700 ppm
Tocopherols/ tocotrienols: 600-1000 ppm
Cholesterol
Average: 18 ppm
Palm oil has very low levels ofcholesterol as similar to othervegetable oils. The value is evenlower in RBD PO
P LM KERNEL OIL PKO closely resembles coconut oil
in its fatty acid (FA) composition.It has a higher content of shorterchain FA, lauric acid C12:0 (48%)
and myristic acid C14:0 (16%)approx
Minor components
Carotenoids: very low levels
Tocopherols/ tocotrienols:Tocopherols level similar to PObut only traces of tocotrienols
Cholesterol
Average: 17 ppm
