: Black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae are a new source of high-quality bio-based materials that can be implemented for technical applications. Black soldier fly larvae can be bred in high numbers in small areas and organic waste streams, making large scale industrial breeding possible. Fats from the black soldier fly are very rich in lauric acid, and the fatty acid profile resembles that of palm kernel and coconut oil. Therefore, black soldier fly fats could be envisaged to have similar applications to these plant-derived oils. : The aims of this work were (1) to use black soldier fly fat, palm kernel and coconut oil to synthesize a glycine-acyl surfactant by means of a Schotten-Baumann reaction; (2) to determine the yield and purity of the reaction products; and (3) to determine solubility, foaming capacity, surface tension and critical micelle concentration of the surfactants in comparison to a commercially-available glycinecoconut oil surfactant, Amilite GCS-11®. : The aims of this work were (1) to use black soldier fly fat, palm kernel and coconut oil to synthesize a glycine-acyl surfactant by means of a Schotten-Baumann reaction; (2) to determine the yield and purity of the reaction products; and (3) to determine solubility, foaming capacity, surface tension and critical micelle concentration of the surfactants in comparison to a commercially-available glycinecoconut oil surfactant, Amilite GCS-11®. : It is concluded that black soldier fly fats are a suitable alternative to coconut or palm kernel oil for the preparation of glycine-acyl surfactants.

Aims: The aim of this study is to evaluate in vitro the antifungal activity of virgin coconut oil and the white palm kernel oil on the growth of six species of the genus Candida. Study Design: This study is an experimental study. Place and Duration of the Study: Department of Microbiology, Laboratory of Microbiology of the University of Yaoundé I. Laboratory of Bacteriology, Yaoundé University teaching Hospital between April to September 2017. Methodology: We included six species of Candida. The method of diffusion discs in agar medium was used for Sensitivity tests and macro-dilution in liquid medium was used for dilution. Results: Majority of the species tested were resistant to conventional antifungals used. Candida hoemulonii was the most sensitive species to virgin coconut oil with percentages of inhibitions higher than 50 % when the concentration of oil was only 3.125 mg/mL and a maximum inhibition percentage of 90.10 % when the concentration of oil was 100 mg/mL. Candida albicans, was the least susceptible species to virgin coconut oil with a maximum inhibition percentage of 59.85 % when the concentration of oil was 100 mg/mL.  Candida lipolytica was the most sensitive specie to white palm kernel oil with a maximum inhibition percentage of 90,26 % when the concentration of oil was 100 mg/mL and Candida parapsilosis was the least susceptible species to white palm kernel oil with a maximum inhibition percentage of 52,69 % at the same concentration. In addition, the white palm kernel oil which was more active (P˂0.05) than virgin coconut oil was introduced in the Sabouraud broth and the MIC and MFC obtained with Fluconazole was lower on Candida albicans and Candida parapsilosis compared to activity of Fluconazole without palm kernel oil in the medium. Nystatin showed also lower MIC and MFC values on Candida parapsilosis when palm kernel oil was present in the culture medium. Conclusion: These results prove that these oils can be used to develop antifungals drugs.

Asam lemak jenuh dapat dikaitkan dengan peningkatan kadar kolesterol darah yang berakibat pada penyakit jantung koroner. Minyak nabati seperti kelapa sawit mengandung asam lemak jenuh dan asam lemak tidak jenuh tunggal yang tinggi. Minyak tersebut banyak digunakan dalam proses pembuatan makanan seperti biskuit, makanan ringan, dan cokelat yang beredar di pasar.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan kandungan asam lemak jenuh pada beberapa produk makanan yang mengandung turunan minyak kelapa sawit. Sebanyak 56 produk makanan terdiri dari biskuit, makanan ringan, produk cokelat, minyak goreng, margarin dan shortening diperoleh dari pasar di Indonesia. Lemak atau minyak yang terdapat pada produk diekstrak dengan heksan menggunakan sokhlet dan dianalisis menggunakan gas kromatografi. Hasil menunjukkan seluruh sampel mengandung turunan minyak kelapa sawit, berdasarkan profil komposisi asam lemak. Seluruh sampel biskuit, makanan ringan, mi instan dan produk cokelat memiliki kandungan asam lemak jenuh rendah (0,468 - 9,715g/takaran saji), karena kemungkinan tidak menggunakan campuran fraksi minyak sawit stearin. Satu dari 12 minyak goreng mengandung campuran minyak kelapa, namun menunjukkan kandungan asam lemak jenuh yang rendah (2,137 - 6,488 g/takaran saji). Enam dari 8 sampel margarin mengandung asam lemak jenuh tinggi (5,763 - 17,166 g/takaran saji), kemungkinan dalam proses pembuatan menggunakan campuran minyak kelapa dan minyak inti sawit. Seluruh sampel shortening memiliki kandungan asam lemak jenuh tinggi (13,651 - 14,963 g/takaran saji), karena menggunakan campuran minyak sawit dan minyak inti sawit. Secara umum, seluruh sampel mengandung asam lemak jenuh rendah dibawah 20 g/takaran saji berdasarkan Nutrient Reference Values(NRVs). Saturated fat acid can be related with the increase of blood cholesterol which responsible for coronary heart disease. Vegetable oil such as palm oil contains high saturated fat acid and unsaturated fat acid. The oil commonly used in food production processes such as biscuits, snacks, and chocolate which commonly found in the market. This research aimed to determine the saturated fat acid in some food products which contain palm oil. 56 food products were obtained in Indonesian market such as biscuits, snacks, chocolate products, cooking oil, margarine, and shortening. Fat or oil in the products was extracted with hexane using soxhlet and analyzed using gaschromatography. The result indicated that all samples contained palm oil based on the fatty acid profile composition. All biscuit samples, snacks, instant noodle, and chocolate products contained low saturated fatty acid (0.468-9.715 g/serving size) it might be due to thestearin of palm oil fraction mixture was notused. One of 12 cooking oil contained coconut oil but it indicated low saturated fat acid (2.137-6.488 g/serving size) since it might use the mixture of coconut oil and palm kernel oil. All shortening samples had high fatty acid (13.651-14.963 g/serving size) since it mixed palm oil with palm kernel oil. Generally, all samples contained low saturated fat acid less than 20 g/serving size based on Nutrient Reference Values (NRVs).

<p>The use of virgin red palm oil (VRPO) as a food product is very useful because it used as a source of fat and bioactive compounds (carotene, tocopherol, and tocotrienol). Increasing the use of VRPO can be conducted by blending it with lauric oils (coconut oil and palm kernel oil) containing medium-chain triacylglycerol (MCT) to produce a healthy oil. This research was conducted to examine the physicochemical properties of VRPO with coconut oil (CNO) or palm kernel oil (PKO) blends at a weight ratio of 100:0 - 0:100. The results showed that the mixtures of VRPO with CNO or PKO influenced the free fatty acid content, carotene content, fatty acids composition, iodine value, melting point, and solid fat content. Enhancing the amount of CNO or PKO onto VRPO causes the blends to have eutectic behavior (easy to melt). The VRPO: CNO and VRPO: PKO blends, at the ratio of 20:80 and 30:70, respectively, can be used as cooking oil. The VRPO: CNO blends at the ratio of 99:1 – 95:5 can be used for baking shortening while the VRPO: PKO blend at the ratio of 70:30 can be used for table margarine.</p><p align="center"><strong>ABSTRAK</strong></p><p>Penggunaan minyak sawit merah murni (<em>virgin red palm oil, </em>VRPO) sebagai produk pangan sangat bermanfaat karena VRPO sebagai sumber lemak dan senyawa bioaktif (karoten, tokoferol dan tokotrienol). Peningkatan pemanfaatan VRPO dapat dilakukan dengan memadukannya dengan minyak laurat (minyak kelapa dan minyak inti sawit) yang mengandung <em>medium chain triacylglycerol </em>(MCT) untuk menghasilkan campuran minyak sehat. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengkaji sifat fisikokimia campuran minyak dari VRPO dengan minyak kelapa (<em>coconut oil, </em>CNO) atau minyak inti sawit (<em>palm kernel oil, </em>PKO) pada rasio berat 100:0 - 0:100. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa campuran minyak dari VRPO dengan CNO atau PKO mempengaruhi kadar asam lemak bebas, kadar karoten, komposisi asam lemak, bilangan iodin, titik leleh dan kandungan lemak padat. Peningkatan jumlah CNO atau PKO ke dalam VRPO menyebabkan campuran memiliki perilaku eutektik (mudah mencair). Campuran VRPO dengan CNO dan VRPO dengan PKO, masing-masing pada rasio 20:80 dan 30:70 dapat digunakan sebagai minyak goreng. Campuran VRPO dengan CNO pada rasio 99:1 - 95:5 dapat digunakan sebagai produk shortening untuk roti sementara campuran VRPO dengan PKO pada rasio 70:30 dapat digunakan untuk margarin meja.</p>

Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ever-present lipophilic substances, having varying levels of concentration in edible oils. Shea butter, coconut oil and palm kernel oil are used in Africa as component of traditional ointment. The study evaluated the concentration of polyaromatic hydrocarbons in Shea butter, coconut oil and palm kernel oil using gas chromatography with flame ionization detector. The polyaromatic hydrocarbons identified and quantified are: napthalene, acenaphthene, fluorene, phenapthrene, fluoranthene, pyrene, chrysene for Shea butter samples; napthalene, acenaphthene, phenanthrene, anthracene, pyrene for coconut oil samples while palm kernel oil samples have napthalene, acenaphthene, acenaphthylene,fluorene, phenanthrene, fluoranthene, pyrene,  benzo(a)anthracene, chrysene, benzo(b)fluoranthene and benzo(k)fluoranthene, The concentration of the sum of PAHs of Shea butter ranged from 7.63 - 44.71 ppm, coconut oil samples 7.81 - 19.24 ppm and palm kernel oil samples 25.09 - 71.55 ppm. Shea butter, coconut oil and palm kernel oil samples have concentration of benzo(a)pyrene above the set maximum permissible limit as revealed in the study. It is important that further research on the reduction and/or elimination of PAHs in Shea butter, coconut oil and palm kernel oil be developed. Keywords: Edible oil, Polyaromatic hydrocarbons, Benzo(a)pyrene, Carcinogenic, Medicinal
