  • Date To 23rd April 2021
  • Price Free of charge, open to all.
  • Location Online: 16:00 MYT. Duration: 1 hour.

Overview

The oleochemical industry is dependent on indigenous raw materials, for example palm oil and its derivatives, and palm kernel oil as the feedstocks for the various basic oleochemical products. The major end-users or applications for oleochemicals are the manufacturers of soap, detergents, surfactants, lubricants, personal care products, pharmaceuticals, just to name a few.

The presentation explains the role of enzymes as the biocatalyst and its place in oleochemical reactions and applications. It also deliberates the possibility of applying enzyme technology in oleochemical processing, and with palm kernel oil as the example for its value chain mapping. Trials results in some of the applications will be shared as examples and case studies.
