Garcia et al. [48] used extracts from chaste tree and mulberry fresh fruits and cabbage palm pulp. In all cases the binding of the anthocyanins to Ti02 through hydroxyl and carbonyl groups caused a red shift of the absorption peak in comparison with solutions. The main parameters for DSSCs sensitized with chaste tree, mulberry, and cabbage palm fruits were Isc — 1.06, 0.86, 0.37 mA, VOC = 390, 422, 442 mV, Pmax= 198, 154, 99.3 iW, FF = 0.48, 0.43, 0.61, respectively.

Other assays have been used to evaluate the antioxidant activity against H202 of several plant-based products, namely, fruit juices from different cultivars of berries (Wang and Jiao 2000), fractions rich in phenolics isolated from the aqueous by-products obtained during the milling of oil palm fruits (Balasundram and others 2005), cherry laurel fruit and its concentrated juice (Liyana-Pathirana and others 2006), and strawberries and blackberries treated with methyl jasmonate, allyl isothiocyanate, essential oil of Melaleuca alternifolia, and ethanol (Chanjirakul and others 2007).

Two related scarab species produce ethyl 4-methyloctanoate 78 (Scheme 8) as an aggregation pheromone the African rhinoceros beetle Oryctes monoceros [170] and the coconut rhinoceros beetle Oryctes rhinoceros [171, 172]. The latter is readily attracted to the racemate. Its secretion was found to contain the free acid as well as ethyl 4-methylheptanoate [ 171 ]. Similarly to other cases, the attractiveness of ethyl 4-methyloctanoate is enhanced by host compounds, i.e. coconut wood [173]. The date palm fruit stalk borer, Oryctes elegans, uses 4-methyloctanoic acid as a male produced pheromone [174]. Structurally...

Palm.—The palm fruit, avoir a elais, on being boiled with water, sends to the surface a bntyraceous orange-colored fat of a violet-like odor. It is met with chiefly in admixture with tallow to make fine palm soap, and in small quantities for coloring pomades. The odor of the oil may be extracted by infusion in alcohol. 

Continuous screw presses are used (1) for extracting fats and oils in small operations where investment capital or supplies of raw materials are limited and installation of a solvent extraction plant is impractical (2) to partially defat high-oil content seeds for easier handling in subsequent solvent extraction or hard pressing and (3) for extraction of animal flesh and bones, fish, and fleshy-type oilseeds such as palm fruit, olives, and copra (dried coconut meat ), and oilseeds. These machines have been generically referred to as expellers, but the Expeller trademark belongs to Anderson International Corporation, Cleveland, OH, successor to the company founded by Valerius D. Anderson who patented the first continuous screw press in 1899.

Rendering. The rendering process is applied on a large scale to the production of animal fats, such as tallow, lard, bone fat, and whale oil. The fatty tissues are chopped into small pieces and are boiled in steam digesters. The fat is gradually liberated from the cells and floats to the surface of the water, where it is collected by skimming. A similar method is used in the extraction of palm oil from fresh palm fruits. 

Palm oil is an edible oil referred to by the FAOAVHO Codex Alimentarius (1) as being derived from the fleshy mesocarp of the oil palm fruit. In the unprocessed form palm oil is reddish brown in color, and it has a semisolid consistency at ambient temperature. Readers should not confuse palm oil with palm kernel oil, which is another product obtained from the kernel of the oil palm fruit while palm oil is derived from the mesocarp or fruit flesh. The two oils have different chemical composition and physical characteristics, and they are used and marketed separately according to their own supply and demand situations. 

Oil Yield Components. Palm oil and pahn kernel oil are obtained from the oil palm fruit. Yield of oil can be considered in terms of various components the two main components are yield of fruit bunches and oil—bunch weight ratio (or extraction ratio). Fruit yield can be considered in terms of the component bunch number and mean bunch weight. Bunch weight increases with palm age while bunch number decreases. The first yield of fruit bunches normally ripen during... 

The major producers of oil palm products are located in the equatorial tropics and include Malaysia, Nigeria, Indonesia, China, Zaire, and Cameroon (54). Palm fruit, when pressed, yields approximately 43% of crude palm oil and 57% of press cake, which consists of 35% pericarp (fiber) and 65% nuts. Palm nuts consists of 83% shells and 17% kernels, which, when pressed, yield approximately 50% of each of palm kernel oil and palm kernel cake (55). 

From the palm fruit, two types of oils are obtained, namely palm oil (PO) and palm kernel oil (PKO). PO is obtained from the mesocarp while PKO is derived from the flesh of the kernel. Although they come from the same fruit, they differ in their chemical and physical characteristics. PO and PKO are widely used in various food applications including shortenings (1). 

Soybean oil is the oil produced in largest quantity and is second only to palm oil in traded oil (Table 1.8). There is also a large trade in soybeans but no comparable trade in palm fruits, which are extracted as soon as possible close to the point of collection. The major producers of soybean oil are the US, Brazil, Argentina, China (local beans augmented with imports), and EU-15 (mainly imported beans). Soybean oil is consumed in every country for which details...
