Dataset from an investigation of the effect of natural zeolite particle size reduction as a material for the manufacture of slow-release potassium fertilizer in oil palm seedlings growth with peat soil planting media.

Particle size is one-factor influencing zeolite's ion exchange properties. This study used natural zeolite with a particle size of ±0.147 mm and ±500 nm as a carrier for K-zeolite-based fertilizer.

Enzymatic Synthesis of Human Milk Fat Substitute - A Review on Technological Approaches.

Human milk fat substitute (HMFS) is a structured lipid designed to resemble human milk fat. It contains 60-70% palmitic acid at the -2 position and unsaturated fatty acids at the -1,3 positions in triacylglycerol structures. HMFS is synthesized by the enzymatic interesterification of vegetable oils, animal fats or a blend of oils.

Identification of Ganoderma, the causal agent of basal stem rot disease in oil palm using a molecular method.

From comparison of the alignments of the internally transcribed spacers (ITS) of ribosomal DNA from Ganoderma associated with oil palm basal stem rot (BSR) and other Ganoderma species, two specific primer pairs were selected to provide a specific DNA amplification of pathogenic Ganoderma in oil palm. Each primer pair produced a single PCR product of about 450 bp (for primer pair IT1-IT2) and 334 bp (for primer pair IT1-IT3) when oil palm Ganoderma DNA was used. No PCR amplification product was observed when other Ganoderma species DNA was used in PCR amplification with these primer pairs.
