Before there were street lights in European cities, ancient Benin kingdom had street lights fueled by palm oil. While we're no longer in the age of powering our lamps with oil, it's imperative to note that this natural occurring wild palm trees have a high nutritional value which is valuable for our health needs.  However, our competitors pride themselves in high yielding genetically modified palm oil (aka agric palm oil, these are usually stunted and fast yielding palm trees which delivers high volume extracts), which is abundant, cheaper and easily gotten. The long term effects of all genetically engineered foods on the human body can not be over emphasized, this and the huge environmental devastation recorded in palm oil producing countries has led to the call for boycott of palm oil use. At 66 million tons annually, palm oil is the most commonly produced vegetable oil. Its low world market price and properties that lend themselves to processed foods have led ...

You have many options when it comes to selecting fats and oils for cooking. But it’s not just a matter of choosing oils that are healthy, but also whether they stay healthy after having been cooked with. When you’re cooking at a high heat, you want to use oils that are stable and don’t oxidize or go rancid easily. When oils undergo oxidation, they react with oxygen to form free radicals and harmful compounds that you definitely don’t want to be consuming. The most important factor in determining an oil’s resistance to oxidation and rancidification, both at high and low heat, is the relative degree of saturation of the fatty acids in it. Saturated fats have only single bonds in the fatty acid molecules, monounsaturated fats have one double bond and polyunsaturated fats have two or more. It is these double bonds that are chemically reactive and sensitive to heat. Saturated fats and monounsaturated fats are pretty resistant to heating, but oils that are high in polyunsatur...

Palm oil is used in different parts of the world, including Africa. Palm oil can look different, depending on where and how it was produced. We have the groundnut palm oil, palm kernel oil, red palm oil, white palm oil and more. Today, palm oil is in high demand all over the world. What makes palm oil so special? It is a storehouse of vitamins! The kernel oil, for example, is high in saturated fat which is a great alternative to trans fats. The red palm oil has lycopene and beta-carotene, an excellent natural antioxidant. Here are some common areas where palm oil is being used.  1. Cooking;  2. Manufacturing ice cream, margarine, etc.;  3. Personal care (soaps, lubricants, lotions, etc.);  4. Pharmaceutics;  5. Production of drilling fluids;  Cosmetics;  6. As an alternative to mineral oils;  7. Production of water treatment products  Due to high demand there are genetically modified strains which are high yieldi...

Image showing the birth and unveiling of amberneg cooking oil From the beginning our marketing goal is efficient service delivery and customers satisfaction with viewership across four continents within three months, our customers has these to say: Obaje Honourable(Facebook): I read from nutrition review and a reminder in 2014, postgraduate class in Vet (ABU) the health benefits of palm oil. I sincerely thanked you again for the re-awakening of this God giving gift. The fruit of the oil palm tree (Elaeis guineesis) is the source of antioxidant-rich red palm oil. Red palm oil is a rich source of phytonutrients such as tocotrienols, tocopherols, carotenoids, phytosterols, squalene, and coenzyme Q10. Very interesting to me is that all of which exhibit nutritional properties and oxidative stability. Mutagenic, nutritional, and toxicological studies have shown that red palm oil contains highly bioavailable β-carotene and vitamin A and is reasonably stable to heat without any a...

The World Health Organization says adequate amounts of vitamin A are crucial for the survival of pregnant women and their unborn children. With vitamin A deficiencies a serious global issue , particularly in developing nations, attendees of the European Palm Oil Conference (EPOC) were eager to learn if carotene-rich palm fruit oil is the answer. In a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers sought to learn if incorporating red palm fruit oil or sunflower oil into an expectant mother’s diet increased the concentration of carotenes in her plasma and breast milk. Image of pregnancy and the demand for vitamin A The demand for vitamin A is highest for both the unborn child and the mother during the last trimester. Pregnant women in high-risk areas are especially prone to night blindness, a manifestation of vitamin A deficiency. For this six-month study, 90 rural, pregnant Tanzanian women during their third trimester were selected from ...
