As  the world\u00eds largest producer of  palm oil, Malaysia contributes more than 50% of global palm oil production. The palm oil processing industry, involving the processes of refining and fractionation, alone or in combination,  is well developed in Malaysia. Most of the crude palm oil produced is processed locally  for exports to overseas markets, mainly for  foods applications. A by-product, known as palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD) is generated at the deacidification-deodorization stage of the refining process. Crude palm oil contains non-glyceride minor components which have been associated with health benefits, some of which are distilled off together with the free fatty acids to become part and parcel of the PFAD. The significance  and potential  of nutritionally useful  palm-based  compounds,  falling into the category of  phytochemicals in value-added applications, particularly in the nutraceuticals  industry, has prompted  research and development (R&#038;D) in  related areas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The oil palm industry plays an important role in the Malaysian economy in terms of employment and foreign exchange earnings.
