Background: As a by-product of the palm oil industry, palm stearin is often overlooked despite having several beneficial properties, such as excellent stability, which is critically essential to meet the demand of the global food trend in producing safer processed food. Specifically, deep frying of food is often associated with the production of toxic compounds that could potentially migrate into the food system when oils are degraded under continuous heating. The incorporation of palm stearin is regarded as a cost-effective and efficient method to modify the fatty acid composition of oils, enhance the frying qualities and lower the degradation rate.
Results: This study blended 5% and 10% palm stearin into palm oil to investigate the deep-frying performance and impact on food quality. Increasing the palm stearin content improved the frying oil's oxidative and hydrolytic stability, evidenced by reduction of total polar material, free fatty acid and total oxidation value. Addition of palm stearin increased the slip melting point which improved the oil's oxidative stability but no significant increase in oil content of instant noodles was observed. Scanning electron microscopy and fluorescence microscopy showed the formation of larger pores in the noodle structure that facilitated oil retention.
Conclusion: Blending palm stearin into frying oil enhanced the frying stability and minimally affected the oil uptake in instant noodles. This article presents the viability of blending palm stearin into frying oils to develop longer-lasting frying oils. © 2024 The Authors.

Article Synopsis
- Two-component micro-powder injection moulding (2C-μPIM) is being explored as a cost-effective method to create bi-material micro-components using stainless steel 316L and zirconia, though it encounters challenges like cracks at material interfaces during sintering.
- This study focused on how incorporating SS316L nanoparticles into bimodal SS316L powders affects the sintering process and quality of the fabricated bi-materials.
- Results showed that increasing the nanoparticle content improved the critical powder loading, relative density, and hardness of the materials, with a notable reduction in interface cracks, achieving a completely crack-free interface at 45 vol.% nanoparticle content.
Thermodynamic analysis of the effect of palm stearin on fully hydrogenated soybean oil coatings in granular micronutrient premixes.

This study examined the phase behaviour and temperature-dependent viscosity of palm stearin and fully hydrogenated soybean oil (FHSBO) mixtures to understand the stability of FHSBO coatings on micronutrient premixes. The Hildebrand equation showed that palm stearin/FHSBO mixtures form liquid solutions, while DSC data indicated partial immiscibility in the solid phase. The melting temperatures and enthalpies of fusion are composition dependent, ranging from 67 °C and 138 J/g for 100 % FHSBO to 13 °C and 71 J/g for 100 % palm stearin.

The study focuses on developing a novel perilla seed oil (PeO)-based polyunsaturated fatty acid-rich margarine fat analogue using enzymatic interesterification. PeO is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, however, has limited application due to susceptibility to oxidative and thermal degradation. Moreover, low consumption of omega-3 fatty acids in modern diets serves as a major cause for increased prevalence of cardiovascular diseases.

Fumaric acid, a naturally occurring preservative with antimicrobial properties, has been widely used in the baking industry. However, its direct addition interferes with yeast activity and negatively impacts the gluten structure. This study investigates the potential of spray-congealing as a method for encapsulating fumaric acid within solid lipid microparticles.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the physical state of dietary fats (liquid vs. solid) affects inflammation and endotoxin levels in healthy men after consuming high-fat meals.
- Fourteen participants consumed emulsions of palm stearin oil with different lipid states, and blood samples were taken at various times after each meal.
- The results showed no significant differences in inflammatory markers between the lipid states, although some baseline characteristics of participants influenced responses, implying that lipid crystallinity does not have a major impact on short-term inflammation.
