Analyzing oil content with a pulsed Nuclear Magnetic Resonance NMR analyzer is applied in this study to provide breeders with an option for oil analysis with green measurement without any usage of n-hexane. A total of 100 oil palm bunches from various crosses were sampled and analyzed using both Nuclear Magnetic Resonance NMR and Blaak;s Soxhlet methods. The general objective of this study was to provide other plausible method in the determination of O/DM results in the bunch analysis process. In this study five replicates per sample were used for both the NMR and soxhlet methods. The utilization of the NMR analyzer in oil content analysis was found very beneficial. Through this study the results of the NMR method for O/DM was evaluated by comparing the estimated mean values derived from NMR samples against the estimated values obtained by Blaak;s Sohxlet method. Besides that the advantages and disadvantages of soxhlet methods were also critically discussed in this paper. It is hoped that the NMR method could be used in the future and the operators; safety and health will be better taken care of in the long run cost saving while the integrity of the data is not compromised.

Abstract

Analyzing oil content with a pulsed Nuclear Magnetic Resonance NMR analyzer is applied in this study to provide breeders with an option for oil analysis with green measurement without any usage of n-hexane.

The general objective of this study was to provide other plausible method in the determination of O/DM results in the bunch analysis process. In this study five replicates per sample were used for both the NMR and soxhlet methods. The utilization of the NMR analyzer in oil content analysis was found very beneficial. Through this study the results of the NMR method for O/DM was evaluated by comparing the estimated mean values derived from NMR samples against the estimated values obtained by Blaak;s Sohxlet method.

It is hoped that the NMR method could be used in the future and the operators; safety and health will be better taken care of in the long run cost saving while the integrity of the data is not compromised.
