MPOC Corporate Brochure |
|
| |
|
The oil palm originated from West Africa and was introduced by the British in the early 1870s to Malaysia, then
Malaya, as an ornamental plant. In 1917, Henri Fauconnier, a French rubber and coffee planter saw its potential
as a cash crop and commercially planted oil palms in Tennamaram Estate, Batang Berjuntai, Selangor.

Palm Oil and Palm Kernel Oil Applications |
|
| |
|
Oil palm, scientifically known as Elaeis
guineensis jaq, is a unique crop as its fruit
produces two distinct types of oils; crude
palm oil from the mesocarp and crude
palm kernel oil from the kernel. Both of
these oils, which are mainly made up of
triglycerides, are chemically and
physically different from each other with
palm oil high in palmitic acid (C16 fatty
acid) and palm kernel oil high in lauric
and myristic acids (C12 and C14 fatty
acids respectively). |

Palm oil is the newest world commodity, but is already the
target of scare-mongering that mixes bad science with poor
