Bio-based oils have recently attained interest due to rising environmental concerns and the
depletion of petrochemical resources. Bio-based oils high in unsaturated fatty acids …

We searched for quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with the palm oil fatty acid
composition of mature fruits of the oil palm E. guineensis Jacq. in comparison with its wild …

Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) is an important cause of blindness and premature death. Red
palm oil (RPO) is the richest food source of VA‐forming carotenoids. RPO carotenoid …

We chose an Elaeis interspecific pseudo-backcross of first generation (E. oleifera× E.
guineensis)× E. guineensis to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for fatty acid composition …

Elaeis guineensis and E. oleifera are the two species of oil palm. E. guineensis is the most
widely cultivated commercial species, and introgression of desirable traits from E. oleifera is …

BACKGROUND One factor affecting crude palm oil quality is the formation of free fatty acids
(FFA), often attributed to the hydrolytic action of mesocarp lipase. The aim of this work was to …

Crude palm oil (CPO) is extracted from the mesocarp of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) fruits.
CPO is widely consumed in many African countries. Due to its high provitamin A carotenoid …

Palm oil has a balanced fatty acid composition and has no trans fat. As a result, its use in
food has increased as food-labeling laws have changed to specify trans fat content …

Background Oil palm is an important source of edible oil. The importance of the crop, as well
as its long breeding cycle (10-12 years) has led to the sequencing of its genome in 2013 to …

The genetic evaluation of oil palm germplasm collections is required for insight into the
variability among populations. The information obtained is also useful for incorporating new …
