General description

Palm fruit oil, a widely used vegetable oil, is obtained from the mesocarp of the palm fruit. It is mainly composed of palmitic acid and also unsaturated fatty acids such oleic and linoleic acid. Palm oil undergoes trans-esterification with methanol to form methyl ester of palm oil, also known as palm oil diesel (POD). POD is a promising candidate as a diesel substitute.
