MPOB Technical Seminar (MTecS) for University and ASEAN 2014/2015

by mpob_admin

The MPOB Technical Seminar (MTecS) series was newly introduced in 2014, and intended to be part of MPOB’s Technical Advisory Services (TAS) programme to provide and impart technical information on palm oil to industry members, university students, medical groups, academicians, researchers, government policy makers, organisations and general consumers. The programme is generally aimed at creating greater awareness on palm oil nutritional characteristics and its applications in both food and non-food segments. The seminars will not only help bridge the knowledge gap among the target groups on the usage and virtues of palm oil, but will also allow them to build special rapport with MPOB over the long term.

The physical nature of palm oil, exhibiting a semi-solid […]

Lipid- and Water-soluble Palm Antioxidants Reduce Development of Atherosclerosis Plaques in Rabbits

Oxidation of low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), the major cholesterol-carrying lipoprotein in plasma, is commonly implicated as an initiator of atherosclerosis. Increased LDL-C concentration is a major risk factor for atherosclerosis in humans (Carmena et al., 2004). Oxidised LDL-C is engulfed by macrophages, a type of white blood cell, and this rapidly leads to the formation of […]
