Palm Oil
Palm oil is an edible vegetable oil high in saturated fats and free of trans fats. The oil palm tree (Elaeis guineensis) is a native to West Africa and was imported into SE Asia in the mid 19th century. Oil palm flourishes in the humid tropics and produces high yield when grown 10 degrees north and south of the equator. Palm Oil is also used to manufacture bio fuel and has become what is called the green fuel option for Motor Vehicles, shipping and Aircraft fuel.
Corn Oil
Corn oil is derived from the germ of the corn plant, one of the most widely grown and relied on crops in the world. Due to this huge availability, it is one of the most inexpensive vegetable oils, and thus one of the most popular. Even the unrefined version of this oil is very high in fat and calories and is considered less healthy than many other vegetable oils, such as olive or almond oil.
Palm Methyl Ester Oil
Palm Methyl Ester is also know as Biodiesel.
Biodiesel is a substitute of diesel made from 100% renewable biological sources. As a fuel, biodiesel decreases harmful emissions by 80% while delivering equivalent or better engine performance compared to regular diesel. Biodiesel (blends of up to 20%) works fine with any diesel engine, with no modification to the engine or fuel system required. Moreover, biodiesel has a cleansing effect that may release deposits that accumulate on the tank walls and within pipes caused due to previous diesel usage.
Beet Sugar
Beet sugar is derived from the sugar beet plant, a root vegetable closely related to beetroot and chard. Along with sugarcane, sugar beets are among the most common plants used in the production of white sugar . Sugar beets are also used to produce other types of refined sugar, such as molasses and brown sugar. However, since the source of the sugar is not always disclosed on food products and labels, it can be difficult to determine whether they contain beet or cane sugar.
Peanut Oil
Light yellow and transparent, limpid color and luster, nice smell,moist and delicious,easy to digest. Possess well fatty acid composition,rich in linoleic acid,with the significant efficiency of lower serum and cholesterol contents, prevents heart disease.
Soybean Oil
Soybean oil, as the other direct product of soybean processing, is also extremely important, especially in food.
With increasing industrial uses for the oil, such as a base for a diesel substitute in high-pollution areas, soybean oil should continue to grow in the favor of the market.
Its availability and versatility will continue to make it more and more popular for all types of uses in the future.
Rapeseed Oil
Despite its violent sounding name, rapeseed oil is extracted from the seeds of the rape plant, scientific name Brassica napus.
The term "rape" derives from the Latin word for turnip, rapum. Rapeseed is related to mustard, turnips, and other cabbage plants. Of all the vegetable oils used for human consumption and in industry, rapeseed is among the top three. It follows palm oil and soybean oil as the third most popularly produced oil in the world. Rapeseed oil is more commonly known as canola oil.
RBD/CP8-CP10
The RBD/CP8-CP10 palm olein was used as the main lubricant owing to a greater awareness of the greenhouse effect phenomenon which has lessened the usage of conventional lubricants that affect our environment. This trend has strongly encouraged the government to use eco-friendly and biodegradable lubricants in the manufacturing industry. RBD palm olein was selected due to its superior tribological properties and large production in Malaysia.
Barley
Barley is very adaptable and is widely cultivated. It is grown as a summer crop in temperate areas and as the winter in tropical areas. Barley has a short growing season and relatively drought-resistant. However, take care and look after the grain is necessary at all stages of its growth and harvest.Barley is used as livestock feed, human food, and barley malt. Historically, livestock consumed most of the barley produced in the world, but now the situation has changed. Currently, grocery and industrial consumption of barley is more prominent.
ICUMSA 45
Refined sugar is purer (ICUMSA below 300) than raw sugar (ICUMSA over 1,500). The International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis sets standards for the measurement of the purity of refined sugar, known as ICUMSA numbers; lower numbers indicate a higher level of purity in the refined sugar. Refined sugar is widely used for industrial needs for higher quality. The level of purity associated with the colors of sugar, expressed by standard number ICUMSA, the smaller ICUMSA numbers indicate the higher purity of sugar.
Sunflower Oil
Natural sunflower oil is produced from oil type sunflower seeds. Sunflower oil is light in taste and appearance and supplies more Vitamin E than any other vegetable oil. It is a combination of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats with low saturated fat levels. The versatility of this healthy oil is recognized by cooks internationally. Sunflower oil is valued for its light taste, frying performance and health benefits.
Used Cooking Oil
UCOs are oils and fats that have been used for cooking or frying in the food processing industry, restaurants, fast foods and at consumer level, in households. The European Waste Catalogue (EWC) classifies them as Municipal Wastes including separately collected fractions, under the code 20 01 25. UCO obtained from waste water treatment plants is also considered non‐hazardous materials with a different code: 19 08 09 (grease and oil mixture from oil/water separation containing edible oil and fats).
Urea
Urea is the most important nitrogenous fertiliser in the country because of its high N content (46%N). Besides its use in the crops, it is used as a cattle feed supplement to replace a part of protein requirements. It has also numerous industrial uses notably for production of plastics.Although urea often offers farmers the most nitrogen for the lowest price on the market, special steps must be taken when applying urea to the soil to prevent the loss of nitrogen through a chemical reaction.
Yellow Maize (Corn)
Yellow Corn (Maize) has become a staple food in many parts of the world, with the total production of maize surpassing that of wheat or rice. However, little of this maize is consumed directly by humans: most is used for corn ethanol, animal feed and other maize products, such as corn starch and corn syrup. The six major types of maize are dent corn, flint corn, pod corn, popcorn, flour corn, and sweet corn. Sugar-rich varieties called sweet corn are usually grown for human consumption as kernels, while field corn varieties are used for animal feed, various corn-based human food uses, and as chemical feedstocks. Maize is also used in making ethanol and other biofuels.
Soybean
The soybean or soya bean (Glycine max) is a species of legume, widely grown for its edible bean, which has numerous uses. Traditional unfermented food uses of soybeans include soy milk, from which tofu and tofu skin are made. Fermented soy foods include soy sauce, fermented bean paste, nattō, and tempeh. Fat-free (defatted) soybean meal is a significant and cheap source of protein for animal feeds and many packaged meals. For example, soybean products, such as textured vegetable protein (TVP), are ingredients in many meat and dairy substitutes. Soy beans contain significant amounts of phytic acid, dietary minerals and B vitamins. Soybean is the most important protein source for feed farm animals (that in turn yields animal protein for human consumption).
Organic Turmeric Powder
Turmeric is the spice that gives curry its yellow color.
It has been used in India for thousands of years as both a spice and medicinal herb. Recently, science has started to back up traditional claims that turmeric contains compounds with medicinal properties (1
These compounds are called curcuminoids. The most important one is curcumin.
Curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric. It has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant.
. Turmeric contains bioactive compounds with medicinal properties, Curcumin is a natural anti-inflammatory compound, Inflammation is incredibly important. It helps fight foreign invaders and has a role in repairing damage in your body.
Although acute, short-term inflammation is beneficial, it can be a concern if it becomes chronic and attacks your body’s own tissues.
Scientists now believe that chronic low-level inflammation can play a role in some health conditions and diseases. These include
- heart disease
- cancer
- metabolic syndrome
- Alzheimer’s disease
- various degenerative conditions
That’s why anything that can help fight chronic inflammation is potentially important in preventing and helping treat these conditions.
While the topic of inflammation is multilayered and there’s likely no simple answer, the key takeaway regarding curcumin is that it is a bioactive substance that can fight inflammation. However, very high doses are required to produce medicinal results.
Turmeric can increase the antioxidant capacity of the body
Oxidative damage is believed to be one of the mechanisms behind aging and many diseases.
It involves free radicals, highly reactive molecules with unpaired electrons. Free radicals tend to react with important organic substances, such as fatty acids, proteins, or DNA.
The main reason antioxidants are so beneficial is that they protect your body from free radicals.
Curcumin is a potent antioxidant that can neutralize free radicals due to its chemical structure.
In addition, animal and cellular studies suggest that curcumin may block the action of free radicals and may stimulate the action of other antioxidants. Further clinical studies are needed in humans to confirm these benefits
