Summary: Crude palm oil extracted from oil palm fruits in Africa has high carotene and vitamin E contents, with distinct differences in lipid traits among genotypes from different regions. Populations from Cote d'Ivoire stand out for their low palmitate content and high tocochromanol content, while genotypes from Benin, Cote d'Ivoire, and Nigeria are characterized by high carotene contents. Crosses between genotypes from Cote d'Ivoire and Nigeria produce CPO with exceptionally high provitamin A and vitamin E contents and low palmitate content.

Summary: The price of palm oil is rising due to its applications in industries and households. A study showed that ethanol and acetone performed better in recovering oil from pressed mesocarp fiber compared to dichloromethane and n-hexane, indicating the potential for more efficient oil recovery for industrial purposes.

Summary: The study compared the effects of dietary lipid supplements with different fatty acid compositions on milk performance in early lactation dairy goats fed a high-concentrate diet. The results showed that PALM and FLAX supplementation increased milk fat concentration, with PALM also leading to a slight increase in milk fat yield. The impact of these changes on the nutritive value of dairy products requires further investigation.

Summary: This study evaluated the larvicide effect of deodorizing distillate palm oil (DDPO) and investigated the synergistic effect of its free fatty acids (FFAs) against Ae. aegypti larvae. The results showed that DDPO had a high mortality rate and could be a potential natural larvicide agent.

Summary: This work presents a model biobased epoxy thermoset resin that incorporates epoxidized linseed oil fatty acid methyl esters (ELOMEs) and trimellitic anhydride (TMA) as a curing agent. The study investigates the effects of different molar ratios of ELOME and TMA on the storage moduli, glass-transition temperatures, and thermomechanical properties of the resulting thermosets. The results indicate that the concentration of the curing agent influences the crosslinking density and affects the formation of the cross-linked network, while the use of ELOME/ELO mixtures leads to an improvement in the thermomechanical properties due to the branched triacylglycerol structure of epoxidized linseed oil.

Summary: The study evaluated the effects of annatto seeds, linseed oil, and their combination on dry matter intake, nutrient digestibility, antioxidant capacity, and milk composition in dairy cows. Annatto seeds decreased dry matter intake and milk yield, but increased milk fat, total solids, and short chain fatty acid content. Linseed oil improved the fatty acid profile of milk but reduced milk fat percentage.

Summary: Acrylated methyl esters derived from camelina oil and linseed oil were synthesized and copolymerized with methyl methacrylate and butyl acrylate to obtain polymeric latexes for coating applications. The incorporation of bio-based derivatives improved the water repellence and water whitening resistance of the coatings.

Summary: Vegetable oil is being used as a substitute for fish oil in crustacean diets due to a global shortage. However, the effects of different substitution levels on the health and metabolism of crustaceans are not well understood. This study found that replacing 50% of fish oil with linseed oil did not affect the growth performance and feed utilization of juvenile swimming crab. Summary: A substitution ratio of less than 50% is recommended for linseed oil in the diet of Portunus trituberculatus.

Summary: Interspecific hybrids of African and American palms produce high-oleic palm oil with low saturated fatty acid content. However, low viability of hybrid pollen requires assisted pollination. Exogenous application of plant growth regulators can induce parthenocarpic fruits, with NAA treatment resulting in improved fruit set and oil quality.

Summary: The global challenge of addressing oil spills in the ocean arises from their mobility and limited self-purification capacity, resulting in substantial and enduring harm to aquatic ecosystems and the depletion of valuable resources. This article introduces a sulfur-free expanded graphite modified by palmitic acid/phosphoric acid, which shows promise in oil spill clean-up.

Summary: The study found that the exogenous application of ethylene gas can improve the quality of post-harvested oil palm fruit bunches and reduce the contaminant content in CPO. This method not only enhances the quality of CPO, but also has the potential to improve the sustainability of palm oil mills.

Summary: This paper reports a study on the formation of dihydroxystearic acid (DHSA) from epoxidized palm oil-derived oleic acid (EPOOA) through an in-situ hydrolysis process. The optimal reaction conditions were determined using the Taguchi method and the significance of each parameter was analyzed using ANOVA.

Summary: In this work, dopamine was self-polymerized on cotton fabric using a simple deep coating method followed by modification with palmitic acid to achieve a superhydrophobic/oleophilic cotton fabric. The fabric showed excellent separation efficiency, oil absorption capacity, and stability, making it a promising material for oil-water separation applications.
