Patent number: 7629478Abstract: A process for preparing palm-based polyol monomer includes reacting unsaturated fatty acids or its corresponding triglycerides with polyhydric alcohol. In particular, one example uses oleic acid with about 70% purity as the starting material for preparing the polyol monomer. Moreover, another example uses refined, bleached, and deodorized (RBD) palm olein as an alternative to oleic acid as the starting material. The preparation of the polyol monomer involves the production of monoglyceride of unsaturated fatty acids, which was further epoxidized with peracid and finally ring opened with polyhydric alcohols. Such polyol monomer is used as a raw material for the production of various types of polyurethane products.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2006Date of Patent: December 8, 2009Assignee: Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB)Inventors: Hoong Seng Soi, Nur Musyahadah Mazalan, Mohd Nurhisham Sattar, Tuan Noor Mazne Tuan Ismail, Hazimah Abu Hassan, Ooi Tian Lye, Salmiah Ahmad, Mohd Basri Wahid, Tan Sri Datuk Yusof Basiron

Patent number: 7575767Abstract: Phytosterols, squalene and Vitamin E are recovered from phytonutrients concentrate derived from crude palm oil by the disclosed invention via esterification, transesterification, vacuum distillation, saponification, crystallization and organic solvents partitioning. Crude palm oil is subjected to esterification and transesterification for the production of crude palm oil methyl esters. Phytonutrients concentrate containing phytosterols, squalene, Vitamin E and unreacted monoglycerides is recovered from crude palm oil methyl esters by multi-stages vacuum distillation in which components with higher molecular weight are filtered during second stage vacuum distillation. The purified phytonutrients concentrate is subjected to saponification process and the unsaponifiable matter is added to a combination of solvents for crystallization of phytosterols. The filtrate enriched in squalene and Vitamin E is separated to its individual squalene-rich layer and vitamin E-rich layer via organic solvents partitioning.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2003Date of Patent: August 18, 2009Assignee: Malaysian Palm Oil BoardInventors: Choo Yuen May, Harrison Lau Lik Nang, Ma Ah Ngan, Yusof Basiron

Patent number: 7161055Abstract: A process for the separation and recovery of minor components from vegetable oil such as palm oil. Esterified palm oil is subjected to molecular distillation giving a concentrate rich in minor components. The concentrate is then adsorbed to adsorbents such as normal phase silica gel, reversed phase (particularly C18) silica gel or neutral alumina as well as polymer absorbents such as polyethylene glycol and polyacrylate polyalcohol. Minor components such as squalene, carotenes, tocols and sterols are then selectively desorbed, separated and recovered using solvents operating at isocratic conditions. The desorption of the said minor components are sped up by applying pressure of between 0.2 to 50 bar. By the same method, individual tocols isomers from palm oil can also be separated and recovered.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2003Date of Patent: January 9, 2007Assignee: Malaysian Palm Oil BoardInventors: Yuen May Choo, Mei Han Ng, Ah Ngan Ma, Yusof Basiron
