Commercially, the palm oil industry has survived the last 100 years and could last for another 100 years or more if

all the stakeholders can stay united and work hard to make it a sustainable industry. In realising the economic viability of this industry as an engine of industrialization growth, many countries are heavily investing in both upstream plantation and downstream processing to generate income, create employment and spur the service industry. In order to enhance upstream productivity, it is important to capture the full potential of existing downstream opportunities to sustain growth in this industry.

Downstream expansion is a key to the existence of the palm oil industry. There are opportunities on developing finished segments that generate high value, including oleo-derivatives, green products, bio-fuels, selected food and health-based products. Palm oil has its own set of advantages including rising relative demand globally, continued high oil-yield per hectare, distinctive edge in yield and quality, versatility and readily

MODULE 1 – ECONOMICS AND COMMERCE(Day 1 – 12 September 2012)

Title The World of Oils & Fats – Is Smart Partnership The Way Forward?

Speaker Dr. James Fry Chairman, LMC International, United Kingdom

Abstract The paper will examine how the behaviour of prices in the world vegetable oil sector has been transformed by the growth in the global biofuel sector. The impact upon the palm oil market differs from that upon the lauric oils, since their main end-uses are quite distinct.

Within the palm product sector, the Indonesian export tax structure has imposed substantial pressure upon Malaysia’s export-orientated processors. The presentation will examine how the loss of competitiveness of Malaysian downstream companies will affect the future shape of Malaysia’s palm processing industry.

Title Biotechnology and the Vegetable Oils & Fats Industry – Vision of Smart Partnership

Speaker Mr. Razwin Sulairee Hasnan TermiziSenior Executive Vice President, Malaysian Biotechnology Corporation, Malaysia

Title The Economics of Genomics for Sustainable Supply of Oils and Fats

Speaker Dr. Cheah Suan Choo Chief Scientific Officer, ACGT Sdn Bhd, Malaysia

Title Indonesian Palm Oil Industry- A New Market Order in Global Oil and Fats Industry

Speaker Dr. M. Fadhil HassanExecutive Director, Indonesian Palm Oil Association (GAPKI), Indonesia

Abstract As the world largest producer of CPO, any policy adopted by Indonesian Government will give impact to the overall performance of the world palm oil industry. This is the case of the Indonesian new export scheme policy. This paper will analyze what is the impact of the new export scheme adopted by the Indonesian Government to the palm oil industry in other countries both producer as well as importing countries.

The study shows while the new export scheme help domestic refineries and government, at the same time this policy have negative impact to domestic upstream industry, the farmers and refinery industries in several countries. Not only that, other policies adopted by Indonesian Government with regard to the moratorium, downstream investment policies, biofuel mandate will also affect the palm oil industry as a whole. In this regard, this study will explain current development of the policies. This study suggests that any policy both in producer and importing countries have to be taken into account the palm oil industry as a whole.

Title Outlook of Edible Oils Market in India – Prospect and Reality of Market

Speaker Dr. B.V. MehtaExecutive Director, Solvent Extractors Association (SEA), India

Abstract India’s current population has touched 1.2 billion and is growing at 1.8% (close to 20 million every year). The income particularly in the middle class is rising by about 8 to 10% per annum and so the demand for food items including vegetable oil is expanding at an average of 3-4% per annum. This translates about 700,000-800,000 tonnes of edible oils additional demand every year. Currently, India’s total vegetable oil demand is about 16.0 million tonnes against which production is hardly 7 to 8 million tonnes. The gap between demand and supply is bridged through the import of vegetable oils mainly palm products from Indonesia and Malaysia while soybean oil mainly imported from Argentina and sunflower oil from Ukraine and Argentina. Currently India is importing vegetable oil about 8.8 to 9.0 million tonnes of vegetable oils. The oilseed production in India is stagnant at 27-28 million tonnes as such import of vegetable oil likely to increase from year to year and may touch 12.0 million tonnes in next 3-4 years.

available. This Module 1 aims at identifying and unlocking the future of vegetable oils and would address the need for smart partnership to propel the industry further.

Globally, there is a growing concern over environmental issues and increasing emphasis on green and clean technology. Many chemical companies worldwide are switching to biotechnology process in their efforts to embrace green revolution. Across the world, industrial biotechnology is a relatively new sector compared to healthcare and agricultural biotechnology. As such, the industrial biotechnology sector is considered a more level playing field and a promising future sector for the oils and fats to enter.

The world of oils and fats is complex and very dynamic. Supply, consumption, demand, exports and price will continue to shape the current and future growth of the industry. The rest of Module 1 will focus on the current competitiveness of palm oil through market outlooks and duty-price mechanism. Objective assessment on the future direction will be discussed.

Sustainable agricultural production has received much attention from consumers and stakeholders to ensure

that the production of commodities such as cocoa, coffee, sugar soya bean and palm oil do not have negative impacts on the natural environment and the rights and well-being of the local commodities and indigenous peoples. Certification and product labelling are often used to assure consumers that a product has been produced in a sustainable manner according to prescribed standards. In the case of palm oil, the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) has through a multi-stakeholder process developed standards and certification systems for the production and trade in sustainable palm oil. Production of certified sustainable palm oil (CSPO) commenced in November 2008 with the first shipment from Malaysia to Rotterdam. At present about 6 million tonnes for CSPO are produced from more than 1.5 million hectares of oil palm. In November 2010, the RSPO launched the CSPO logo to allow consumer goods manufacturers to claim the use of CSPO on their product label.

Besides the RSPO, several other sustainability certification initiatives for palm oil have emerged. Indonesia is implementing mandatory Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil

MODULE 2 : SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE(Day 2 – 13 September 2012)

(ISPO) certification scheme while Malaysia is also considering a national certification scheme. The Sustainable Agriculture Network (SAN), coalition of independent conservation organisations has developed social and environmental sustainability standards to certify agricultural crops including palm oil. Sustainable production of all biofuel feedstocks, including palm oil and oil palm biomass can be certified by the Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels (RSB). From January 2011, use of biofuels in Germany has to comply with the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification System (ISCC) developed by the German Government under EU RED (Renewable Energy Directives).

While the various certification schemes have their specific objectives and requirements, they have the common goal of ensuring the production of palm oil does not have negative impacts on the natural environment, global warming and social aspects. However, compliance with the various certification standards has posed considerable challenges to the upstream producers of palm oil. This module will discuss the certification requirements of relevance to the palm oil sector and explore the opportunities for Smart Partnerships in the production and trade in certified sustainable palm oil.

Title The Development and Implementation of Indonesian SustainablePalm Oil (ISPO)

Speaker Dr Rosediana SuhartoChairman,Secretariat of ISPO Commission, Indonesia

Abstract The Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil Certification System is an instrument promulgated by the Ministry of Agriculture to reach their environmental objectives and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This program is to support the Indonesian Government’s commitment to reduce GHG emission. On May 26, 2010, Indonesia signed a Letter of Intent with The Royal Norwegian Government and Norway has agreed to support Indonesia’s efforts to reduce emissions from deforestation and degradation of forests and peatlands. Indonesia will take immediate and decisive action to reduce its forest and peat-related greenhouse gas emissions. Norway will support those efforts with US$ 1 billion over the next few years. From April 2011, Indonesia has to implement ISPO, under related Ministry of Agriculture Decree No. 19 /2011. This regulation is a mandatory requirement and full implementation will be by January 1, 2015.

The Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil Certification System has 7 principles, 40 criteria and 126 indicators based on 120 applicable laws and regulations in Indonesia. In view of this, ISPO has a very strong legal basis, and has the strength to cooperate with other governments and buyers.

Since the launching of ISPO, the principles and criteria has undergone through testing and appropriate revisions, including grievance procures have been made to improve the certification system. ISPO has already appointed 5 (five) certification bodies and the audit for oil palm plantationcompanies will be done soon.

Title Can the RSPO Certification System be the Gold Standard for Sustainable Palm Oil?

Speaker Mr Darrel WebberSecretary-General, Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), Malaysia

Abstract The RSPO was formed in 2004 amid a global backdrop of sustainability issues in the world. RSPO’s formation answers the call of supporting the palm oil supply chain, and at the same time ensuring that the needs of the people and environment are met. The call for sustainability in the palm oil industry was, and still is, challenging. The requirement for sustainable palm oil is one that is ever changing moving with the times; and RSPO seeks to play a central role in keeping the balance between the needs of the economy, people and environment.

The usefulness of any certification scheme lies in its credibility in the markets. Higher credibility in the consumptive markets is likely to be linked to reduced friction for market acceptance and consumption. A certification scheme can also only be useful if the implementers of the certification scheme can experience/see benefits connected to their efforts.

This paper discusses the results from the RSPO certification scheme on markets and the implementers of the scheme. With this, it is hoped that the question asked of this paper, as per its title, can be answered in the affirmative.

Title Growers’ Experience in Multiple Certification Schemesfor Sustainable Palm Oil and Biofuels

Speaker Mr Simon SiburatGroup Sustainability Controller, Wilmar International Ltd, Singapore

Abstract Sustainability certification is a process that requires the implementation of standards to address problems that range from the very local to the global. In the palm oil world today, there are two main types of market driven standards - sustainable palm oil and those for compliance with the Renewable Energy Directives (RED) for the Biofuel market. The sustainable palm oil standards have the common goal of ensuring the production of palm oil to address the 3 pillars of sustainability on planet, people and profit. For biofuel standards, there is an additional sustainability requirement on the need to report on the possible impacts of palm oil production on CO2 emissions and global warming and to demonstrate on greenhouse gas savings.

Translating criteria into on the ground practice is very challenging and at times require growers to comply beyond and above the local regulations. For implementation, there are also the issues of how those being certified can realistically prove that they are meeting criteria. There is a process of translation into operation that has to occur between the criteria in certification program, and the actual guidance that growers receive as to what actions are required of them. And agriculture being an inexact science, this is very challenging. During this process of moving from a certification scheme to on the ground implementation, there is a tension between ensuring credibility, and understanding what practices are actually possible for the growers. Growers noted that the practical challenges of implementation, including capacity for implementation and verification on the ground, are especially acute when it comes to certifying associated smallholders which is a requirement on most certification schemes. The challenge is on measuring and verifying compliance because this is always open to interpretation of the standards by the auditors.

Another challenge for practical implementation is justification of the value to growers. Certification requires an investment on the part of growers, and for the majority, they will do this only if there is an expectation of added value. Today, with the exception of palm oil certified for RED compliance, the premium from the sale of certified sustainable palm oil is below expectation and this is very discouraging. Moreover, some of these sustainability standards require its member to have a time bound plan to certify all of its plantations and mills where it has significant ownership. This becomes a certification to demonstrate commitment rather than a certification based on market demand. Since some of the requirements of the standards go beyond local regulatory requirements, the added cost of production and loss of opportunity will compromise the competitive edge of the business of the sustainable palm oil growers.

Title Unilever’s Commitment to Source All Palm Oil From Traceable Sources by 2020

Speaker Ms Cherie TanGlobal Procurement Director – Sustainable Sourcing of Re-newablesand Smallholder DevelopmentUnilever Asia, Singapore

Abstract As the world’s largest purchaser of palm oil, Unilever has made a bold commitment to source 100% of its palm oil sustainably by 2012 a full three years ahead of schedule. While the majority of certified sustainable palm oil will be sourced through the purchase of GreenPalm certificates of which Unilever remains the biggest global buyer to date, the company has now set a new target to achieve 100% traceable certified palm oil supply chains by 2020. Increasingly, consumers want to know exactly where the palm oil has originated and the company has made a start to bring in a segregated supply chain into Unilever’s products.

This paper will present Unilever’s journey to reach 100% traceable palm oil. Because of the enormous volumes, this presents a hugely complex task which will only be achievable by working together with suppliers, NGOs and customers by engaging through the RSPO and in collaboration with peers represented in the Consumer Goods Forum to promote the uptake of certified and sustainable palm oil.

Palm oil milling has come under the scanner over the years, leading to new developments in the unit

processes involved such as continuous sterilisation with horizontal digesters, differential pressure vertical sterilizers, automation of the cage handling, improvement in mechanical pressing, improved design of clarification and purification equipment for the crude palm oil such as clarifiers, decanters, tri-canters and sludge separators.

The progress made in technological improvements to the processing has also centred on introduction of automation as well as optimising the process to reduce oil losses for improving OER and reducing the BOD and COD of POME (palm pil mill effluent) to stringent levels set by DOE Standards.

The biogas that is being generated by methane capture will also feature as an important factor in reducing the carbon impact on the environment and improving the economic returns of the palm oil milling industry.

A novel palm oil clarification process for achieving zero liquid discharge will also be discussed.

Papers to be presented will bring into focus the progress made highlighting the smart partnerships that have been forged between millers, equipment and instrument suppliers with the advent of new monitoring systems from other successful industry players.

A leading expert will analyse the latest advances in oils and fats highlighting efforts to reduce running costs in processing. A review of past and current technologies in palm kernel xxtraction will also be featured.

There will also be an interactive panel of experts who will discuss the impact of these developments on future trends expected from modern palm oil mills and the refining industry.

Title A Novel Palm Oil Clarification Process for Achieving Zero Liquid DischargeSpeaker Sivasothy Kandiah

Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB)Abstract A palm oil milling process to facilitate the treatment of the effluent discharged using zero-discharge technology cost-

effectively has eluded the industry despite intensive efforts over several decades. In the conventional palm oil clarification process, water is added to the liquor expelled from screw presses to reduce its viscosity to facilitate efficient oil-sludge separation. Research carried out over the last few years has led to a novel clarification process that may provide the impetus for revolutionizing the treatment, disposal and utilization of effluent in palm oil mills. In the new process, the large amount of oil in press liquor is used as a fluidizing agent to facilitate the removal of a significant amount of water in press liquor in an energy-efficient manner using a multiple-effect evaporator system. The paper examines the technical viability of the new clarification process based on pilot plant studies and explores its potential for making palm oil mills more environmentally-friendly.

Title Smart Partnerships – The Way to Advance Ultrasound Technologies for Higher Palm Oil Milling PerformanceSpeaker M.A. Augustin

CSIRO Division of Animal, Food and Health Sciences, AustraliaK.H. LeeIHMS Sdn Bhd, Malaysia

Abstract An effective partnership between an Australian research organisation and an innovative Malaysian palm oil milling company has resulted in a technological advance that has potential for enhancing palm oil milling performance. The bringing together of expert knowledge and sound science underpinning ultrasound technology application to emulsion systems (provided by the Australian partner, CSIRO) with the many years of experience in efficient palm oil milling operations combined with an intimate knowledge of the palm oil industry (provided by Ldg Tai Tak (KT) & IHMS in Malaysia) facilitated the development of the seed idea into a tangible commercial opportunity. This paper highlights the journey of this partnership. The partners, supported by experts from multiple disciplines, jointly explored the opportunity from both a technology and business perspective. Testing the idea was firstly carried out on a small scale in a research laboratory. This was followed by scaling up the operation to a pilot-scale in a palm oil mill in Malaysia, identifying hurdles that needed to be overcome in the introduction of this new technology to palm oil mills. A smart partnership, with appropriate funding and support, is vital for the successful introduction of this step-change innovation in palm oil milling operations.

Title Smart Partnership in Palm Kernel ExtractionSpeaker Dan Anderson

Director of Asian OperationsCrown Iron Works Co., US

Abstract Traditionally, PK has been mechanically extracted using a single or double press system. Although capital equipment costs for this approach are low, especially for smaller capacity plants, there is substantial residual oil left in the cake. Solvent extraction has been attempted, but most commercial applications have not been very successful. PK and PK cake is difficult to properly prepare for efficient extraction, and PK cake is notoriously difficult to desolventize. However, new technology has been developed and is currently being installed for commercial applications.

This talk will focus on the various preparation, pre-pressing, and solvent extraction technologies. The historical approach will be examined, then the first generation of extraction reviewed, and finally the current technology will be discussed. A case history of economic impact will also be considered for a mid sided PK facility, both for direct extraction of PK seed, and also for pre-pressed PK cake.

MODULE 3 – PROCESS TECHNOLOGY OF PALM OIL(Day 2– 13 September 2012)

Title Smart Partnership in Higher Conversion of Biomass Fuel to Power Value-Added Biomass Products and Green House Gases Reduction

Speaker SBY C.K. HongVice President, PMT Industries, MalaysiaK.H. LeeExecutive Director, IHMS Sdn Bhd,Malaysia

Abstract The palm oil mills are currently practicing a combined integrated supply of process steam and power generation.

With the expectation of the palm oil mill to provide power for the potential manufacturing of value-added biomass products without the dependency on fossil fuel; smart partnerships between turbine specialists and millers are important.

The availability of well-designed high efficiency turbines backed with reliable services from the many years of experience (provided by PMT Industries), combined with the intimate knowledge of Milling process steam and power demands (provided by IHMS) are essential ingredients.

The oil palm industry can have the potential to commercially transform the way biomass is utilised for varying combinations of process steam, power generation and the production of value-added biomass.

This is realised with Tai Tak Palm Oil Mill coming on board to adopt/practice a higher efficient way to use biomass and at the same time to reduce the green house gas emission.

The success of this quest is also supported by the many multi-discipline experts.

The presentation of this paper is a bold attempt to lead the oil palm industry in this transformative and innovative direction.

Title Biogas Update – Public Sector and Industry PerspectivesSpeaker Loh S.K.

Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB), MalaysiaTong S.L.Oiltek Nova Bioenergy Sdn Bhd, Malaysia

Abstract Part 1. Biogas harnessing from palm oil mill effluent (POME) treatment is vitally important for the industry to help the government in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Biogas from POME has also been identified as a potentially abundant renewable energy sources which can be fully exploited under the National Policy on Renewable Energy and Action Plan with a revised Feed-in Tariff (FiT). Under the Economic Transformation Programme, installation of biogas plants across the nation has been included under Entry Point Project (EPP) 5 in the Palm Oil National Key Economic Areas (NKEA). Under these programmes, projects on biogas trapping and utilization as a form of renewable energy by the millers are eligible to apply for fiscal incentives such as pioneer status, investment tax allowance, and import duty and sale tax exemption. With the strong government support, the Malaysian Palm Oil Board envisage that all palm oil mills will be equipped with biogas facilities by 2020, as part and parcel in enhancing the sustainability and in spanning the palm oil value chain. In this paper, recent progress in the development of POME Biogas facilities among the palm oil mills for both West and East Malaysia will be reported.

Part 2. The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) under the Kyoto Protocol has contributed to the rapid growth of biogas plants in palm oil mills in Malaysia since 2006. For the period from 2006 – 2011, the projected revenue from the certified Emission Reductions (CERs) credits awarded to these voluntary projects based on the substantial greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions from palm oil production achieved alone was able to justify the investment in many cases. This situation has changed drastically with the expiring of the Kyoto Protocol at the end of 2012, and the failure for UN to come out with commonly acceptable replacement. With the CERs revenue playing a much lesser role, the industry has to take this CERs price downturn as a challenge. This part of the paper will first review the availability of proven, high efficiency and high reliability biogas plant systems and technologies to ensure biogas productivity which would be constantly approaching the expected yield based on long term track records. With the ensured biogas-methane productivity, the various emerging technologies enabling high value utilization of bio-methane recovered have been developed paving the way to the success of more new biogas plants implementation.

Title Smart Partnerships & Latest Advances in Oils & FatsSpeaker Alan Paine B.Sc

MIChemE, CEng, Desmet Ballestra, Zaventem, BelgiumAbstract Since the 1980s the typical size of vegetable oil refineries has increased by an order of magnitude. Consequently today

even a very small change in the efficiency or yield of a plant can have a large economic effect. In soft oil refining the yield of oil is being improved by the increasing use of enzymatic degumming and physical refining and in tropical oil processing the focus is on trying to prevent saleable oil from being carried into the deodoriser distillate.Energy consumption is also an area of increasing concern. Vacuum equipment is a large consumer of energy for deodorisers. There have been a number of developments over the years to reduce these running costs and further improvements are on going. The most efficient vacuum process is “ice condensing” which involves freezing the vapours coming from a deodoriser but the installation is a lot more complicated than a simple steam ejector set.As refineries have become more technically complicated it has become necessary for equipment suppliers to form partnerships with specialists in various fields. In the case of ice condensing we have sought the help of specialist consultants who have helped us to design a system with unique benefits.

Being one of the largest producers of palm oil, Malaysia has successfully created the right environment that has

helped palm oil-based industries to flourish in the country. However, it is mainly on primary oils plus the production in basic oleochemicals. As the price of palm oil keeps on increasing for the past few years, the industry is facing tough competition especially in terms of price and volume. With the current scenario and faced by the fact that the country has limited land for further expansion, Malaysia have no choice but to go further downstream for high value products in order to stay competitive. In the area of food applications, consumers nowadays demand for high-value and healthy products. Structured lipid, which can be achieved through

blending and interesterifying palm oil with other suitable vegetable oils, or modifying the physical properties with the assistance of emulsifiers would be of great advantage. Such a product would produce new fat of better palatability and with health benefits. In terms of oleochemicals, consumers are looking for natural and sustainable feedstock for consumer products. One example is methyl ester sulphonate (MES) as an alternative surfactant to linear alkylbenzenesulphonate (LABS) in detergent formulations. Another potential growth area is bio-energy. Some of our industries which are not that profitable can also look at downstreaming as a solution to increase the value of their current products.

Title Innovations towards Enhancing the Value of Oils & Fats

Speaker Datuk Dr. Choo Yuen May Director-General of Malaysian Palm Oil Board Malaysia

Abstract The oil palm is a highly productive and versatile crop producing up to ten times the oil yield of competing oil crops. However, increasing pressure for sustainable palm oil production coupled with decreasing availability of arable land has catalyzed research efforts to further enhance the productivity and utility of the oil palm across the entire value chain. The economic importance of palm oil is determined by its commercial utilization for both edible and non-edible purposes. Its widespread use is attributed to its abundant and dependable supply, competitive price and positive technical and nutritional attributes. Palm oil has excellent resistance to oxidation, which contributes towards longer shelf life. Its stability to prolonged elevated temperature makes it an ideal ingredient in frying oil. The fatty acid and triacylglycerol composition of palm oil facilitate physical modification by fractionation. It can be combined with more solid fractions such as palm stearin to make products of the required consistency without hydrogenation. Palm oil is thus an excellent, cost effective trans-free alternative to partially hydrogenated oil. It has a natural wealth of phytonutrients such as alpha and beta carotene, tocotrienols, Co-enzyme Q10 and phytosterols. These minor components confer potent bioactivities such as antioxidant and free radical-scavenging activity, and anti-cancer properties hence increasing the nutritional benefits of palm oil. The global commitment towards reduction of greenhouse gas emissions has increased the interest in palm-based biodiesel and biofuel production. The oil palm is a bio-renewable material providing a rich vein of sustainable raw materials which have the potential to both serve as alternative building blocks to petrochemical-based feedstocks, as well as help create products with new properties and applications. These include oleochemical applications such as palm-derived surfactants, detergents, cosmetic ingredients and utilization of biomass. Sustainability and the reduction of our ecological footprint has become a key driver in oil palm research. Efforts have been intensified towards both methane capture and avoidance at palm oil mill. This paper will describe the comprehensive range of products developed from palm oil for both food and non-food applications and includes oleochemical, biomass and biofuel applications. It will also examine the nutritional benefits of palm oil

Title Enzymatic Modification of Oils and Fats

Speaker Véronique GibonDesmet Ballestra Group, MinervastraatBelgium

Abstract Due to health concerns, the food industry tends to replace partially hydrogenated oils by other products having similar techno-functional properties. There is a growing interest to produce trans-free fats with the enzymatic interesterification (EIE) technology. Stepped-up interest for EIE is not only related to the production of margarines and shortenings but also to the design of other innovative food fats. Random EIE is applied to modify the overall melting profile of a blend and to enhance the compatibility in the solid state of selected fats. This is a continuous process operating in fixed-bed configuration (TLIM, Novozymes). Depending on the desired applications, several trans-free blends can be considered as feed oils for random EIE; one of the preferred hardstock is palm stearin mixed with appropriate quantities of softer oils (coconut oil, palm kernel oil, palm kernel olein, palm olein, soybean oil, sunflower oil etc.). The EIE blends are optionally mixed with other soft oils to reach the final targeted SFC profiles. Regio-selective EIE allows the manufacturing of special products like cocoa butter equivalents (CBE), anti-bloom agents, breast milk substitutes, low calorie fats etc. The enzymatic route for CBE is particularly interesting. For example, blends of high oleic oils [with low StOSt and POSt contents] and stearic rich fractions can regio-selectively be modified (RMIM, Novozymes) to increase the SUS content in the final product. Identically, the composition of palm mid fractions [with low StOSt and POSt and high POP contents] can be re-adjusted in order to mimic the compositional properties of regular CBE. [St: stearic acid; O: oleic acid; P: palmitic acid; S: saturated fatty acid; U: unsaturated fatty acid]

MODULE 4 - Downstreaming of Oils and Fats Industry(Day 3 – 14 September 2012)

Title Designing Nano- and Micro-encapsulated Healthy Ingredients

Speaker M.A. Augustin and L. SanguansriCSIRO Preventative Health National FlagshipAustralia

Abstract There is a growing demand for nano- and micro-encapsulated bioactive ingredients that can be delivered through functional foods to provide health benefits above normal nutrition. Encapsulation is a process by which a bioactive is packaged within a secondary material to form a nano- or micro-capsule. The secondary material forms a protective coating around the bioactive, isolating it from its surrounding until its release is triggered by changes in its environment. This avoids undesirable interactions of the bioactive that lead to degradation of the bioactive until the desired time or site of release from the capsule. This paper discusses a retro-approach to designing nano- and micro-encapsulated formulations. Understanding the end-use of the encapsulated formulation is essential for defining the encapsulation process. This requires knowledge of (i) the bioactive, (ii) the encapsulant materials, (iii) interactions between the bioactive, matrix and the environment, (iv) the stability of the encapsulated formulation in storage and when incorporated into the food matrix and (v) the mechanisms that control the release of the core on ingestion. The paper covers the technical challenges in developing encapsulated formulations for incorporation into foods, focussing on strategies for the successful delivery of healthy oils and lipid soluble bioactives.

Title Designing Speciality Fats From A Low Diacylglycerol Palm-Mid Fraction

Speaker Kamariah LongBiotechnology Research Centre, Malaysia Agricultural Research and Development Institute (MARDI) Malaysia

Abstract Current enzymatic modification of oils and fats and way forward of the enzymatic oil processing technique will be discussed. Special reference is to palm oil in the preparation of cocoa butter equivalent (CBE) from palm olein with low diacylglycerol (DAG) content by selective enzymatic process. RBD palm olein with low DAG content was individually dry fractionated into low (super olein) and high melting fractions (palm mid fraction).The palm mid fraction (PMF) was then subjected to the second fractionation step to obtain the hard PMF (solid) and the olein fraction (liquid). Physical and chemical characteristics i.e. iodine value, slip melting point, triacylglycerol and DAG profile, fatty acids composition, thermal profiles and solid fat content of the PMF and its fractions were analyzed. The solid fat content and thermal analysis profile of the treated hard fraction had shown excellent de-moulding properties and desirable sharp melting properties, with no eutectic effect at higher temperature. The low level of trisaturated triacylglycerol (i.e.PPP) and high level of disaturated triacylglycerol (i.e. POP) in the treated hard stearin had lowered the degree of waxiness in the fat. Preliminary results showed that the treated hard stearin could be a good source for CBE which is highly desirable for making of high quality chocolate.

Title MES - the Future Workhorse for Detergent Industry.

Speaker Tsuneharu MukaiyamaManaging DirectorLion Eco Chemicals Sdn Bhd, Malaysia

Abstract MES (Methyl Ester Sulphonate）is anionic surfactant manufactured from natural oils and fats. The fundamental study for detergent field started since 1950s. However, technical issues such as difficulty of production and quality problems occurred. It took long time to improve such technical issues. In 1991, the compact powder detergent based on MES was launched into the market by LION Corporation Japan then, but research on application of MES continues to expand. In recent years, attention is paid to the application of MES for detergent due to concern of petroleum resource and environmental impacts. Palm oil has the largest production volume among the various vegetable oils in the world, and its volume is increasing every year. Hence palm oil is the most suitable and sustainable feedstock for MES. LION ECO CHEMICALS SDN BHD in Malaysia commenced MES production and marketing it as MIZULAN ™ went global in 2010.

This is the post addition particle which can be easily applied for existing powder detergent process. MES has excellent detergency in the wash liquor of high hardness and has high washing power even in low surfactant concentration. Moreover, its biodegradability is good and has the required characteristics as a sustainable raw material for detergent industry. This presentation shows the various features of MES for powder detergent and possibilities of future application such as liquid detergent.

Title Biodiesel: Fuel and Raw Material for Oleochemicals

Speaker Dr. Wolfgang Rupilius Consultant, GermanyDr. Hazimah Abu Hassan

Abstract The global production capacity of biodiesel has grown in recent years much faster than the demand. This has resulted in a large excess of capacity in Asia, Europe and the USA. For this reason, the utilization of biodiesel (also known as methyl ester) as a raw material for the production of downstream oleochemicals is becoming an attractive alternative to its utilization as fuel. Most of the products that are produced from fatty acids today can also be produced from methyl esters at a similar cost. Additionally, there are some newly developed manufacturing technologies which require methyl esters as raw material.

The production of fatty alcohols, methyl ester sulfonates, methyl ester ethoxylates, speciality surfactant, etc., from biodiesel will be discussed.

The role of fats and fatty acids in determining health and nutritional well-being is consistently being explored and

deliberated on by experts globally to address many areas of controversy from the developments over the recent years.

Emerging scientific evidence, namely the positional distribution of fatty acids on the triacylglycerol molecule and their nutritional implications are among the key presentations of the nutrition module of OFIC 2012. The sn-2 hypothesis may provide the possible explanation as to why palm oil, though semi-saturated behaves similarly to olive oil in its effects on blood lipid profile. Results from a recent chronic human intervention study that tested the hypothesis will be presented at this meeting.

Phytonutrients play a major role in enhancing nutritional properties of fats and oils, providing added value and possible remedy in addressing many health concerns. Recent research developments on various phytonutrients and their effects on health and disease will also be addressed at this module.

The Nutrition module will provide an excellent platform for interactions amongst global experts to address the many issues arising in the field of fats and oils in human nutrition. This module will provide opportunities for further international collaboration and more importantly present updated and credible scientific information to the community.

Title The chronic and acute effects of palm olein and chemically interesterified palm olein on risk factors for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes

Speaker Tom SandersDiabetes & Nutritional Sciences Division, King’s College London, UK

Abstract The process of interesterification might increase risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. To address this question, we compared the effects of native palm olein (PO IV 56, 16:0 9.2 mol% at sn-2) with chemically interesterified palm olein (IPO, IV 56, 16:0 39.1 mol% at sn-2) or high oleic sunflower oil (HOS). In test meal studies, IPO resulted in a slower increase in postprandial lipemia but did not differ from PO or HOS on insulin release or glucose homeostasis. The chronic effects were investigated using a crossover design study with each treatment lasting 6 weeks. Data were available for analysis on 41 participants. The effects of IPO and PO did not differ with regard to total, HDL or LDL cholesterol or apolipoprotein B100 concentrations. No differences in insulin release measured as C-peptide or insulin sensitivity measured as RQUICKI were observed. In conclusion, the results do not support the hypothesis that chemical interesterification of palm olein has adverse effects on risk of cardiovascular disease or type 2 diabetes.

Title sn-2 Hypothesis : A Review

Speaker Tan Sri Dr. Augustine OngPresident, MOSTA

Abstract It is generally perceived that saturated fats are associated with cardiovascular diseases. However, recent studies on palm olein (40% saturated) do not confirm these expectations and unexpectedly, palm olein has been shown to effect blood cholesterols to the same levels as virgin olive oil. These apparent contradictory results could be explained by the sn-2 hypothesis. Further the nature of fatty acids at the sn – 1 and sn – 3 positions could influence fat deposition on the adipose tissue based on in vivo study using animal models. A review of recent preliminary research data is presented for discussion.

Title Use of Palm Oil-Derived Fatty Acids in the Dairy Industry

Speaker A.L. Lock and M.S. AllenMichigan State University, Michigan, USARonnie TanBlue Archipelago Bhd., Malaysia

Abstract A series of studies supported by the Malaysian Palm Oil Board is being conducted at Michigan State University to examine the potential for improvements in dairy cow productivity and efficiency through the targeted feeding of specific palm oil-derived fatty acids. In the dairy industry milk components and not milk volume continue to be the principal driver of producer milk prices. The concentration and yield of milk fat is driven by the nutrition of the dairy cow; therefore, diets that allow for an improvement in milk fat output would potentially be economically advantageous. Our overall objective is to evaluate the impact of palm-derived palmitic and stearic acid-enriched fat supplements on dairy cow productivity and efficiency. Results will be presented that demonstrate that palmitic acid has the potential to increase yields of milk and milk fat as well as the conversion of feed to milk, independent of production level without increasing body condition score or body weight. Furthermore, results demonstrate that palmitic acid is more effective than stearic acid in improving milk fat concentration and yield as well as efficiency of feed conversion to milk. This series of studies highlight the significant growth opportunity for the Oil Palm industry to contribute vital nutritional inputs to the worldwide dairy cattle industry.

Title Phytonutrients from Palm Oil and Their Health Benefits

Speaker Kalanithi Nesaretnam and Fu Ju YenMalaysian Palm Oil Board. Malaysia

Abstract The health benefits of palm phytonutrients have been largely underestimated over the years due to the lack of public awareness. In fact, crude palm oil contains up to 1000 ppm of tocols (tocopherols and tocotrienols), 500-700 ppm of carotenoids, 200-600 ppm of squalene and 10-80 ppm of coenzyme Q10. These phytonutrients were found to exhibit multifaceted biological activities including antioxidant, cardioprotection and anti-inflammatory effects. Tocotrienols especially, have gained global attention for its superior potency compared to tocopherols. Upon obtaining the GRAS status from USFDA in April 2010, tocotrienols have become the centre of attention for clinical trial investigations. On the other hand, being major vitamin A precursors, palm carotenoids were found to improve the vitamin A status of primary school children in South Africa. In fact, recent studies revealed the potential of carotenoids in the protection against heart disease and cancer, which are novel health benefits. Recently, the technology for harvesting water-soluble antioxidants from oil palm has become available. Pre-clinical studies suggest that oil palm phenolics may have a protective role against radical damage, LDL oxidation as well as atherosclerosis. Hence, this review serves as a platform for researchers and industries to work in line to discover the endless opportunities with palm phytonutrients.

Sime Darby Plantation is the plantation and agri-business arm of the Sime Darby Group, representing one of the six core Divisions of the Group. The Division is involved in oil palm cultivation and downstream activities, agribusiness and food, as well as Research & Development (R&D).

Other than upstream plantation activities Sime Darby Plantation is involved in the manufacturing and distribution of oils and fats products, oleochemicals and palm oil-based biodiesel, as well as fast moving consumer goods. The company’s downstream activities are present in 14 countries, where refining of Crude Palm Oil (CPO) is undertaken for edible oils and fats products, oleochemicals and biodiesel. Alongside oil palm, the Division is also involved in agri-business activities and the cultivation of rubber.

Sime Darby Plantation is committed to becoming the world’s premier producer of sustainable palm oil. The Company’s upstream activities adhere strictly to industry-proven best practices. In keeping with the aspiration of making sustainable futures real for everyone, the Division makes a conscious and concerted effort towards the conservation and protection of the environment, the rehabilitation of forests, the protection of wildlife and the promotion of the well-being of communities within and around its operations.

The Company also invests heavily in R&D and is the first in the world to successfully sequence, assemble and annotate the oil palm genome. With this breakthrough the company stands on the brink of discovering a ‘super palm’ that will revolutionise the industry.

Its significant contributions include the award winning zero burning replanting technique, leading management practices on water conservation and irrigation, stewardship in Integrated Pest Management (IPM), and the conversion of Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) and Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) into compost for plantations, among many others.
