Abstract

Diacylglycerol (DAG) oil has great potential in overcoming the obesity problem and weight-related disorders. This article attempted to produce high DAG oil directly from the oil palm fresh fruit bunches (FFB). The FFB were cut into smaller portions and subjected to different storage conditions. After a fiveday storage the oil was extracted and partially refined and then subjected to two stages of multistage short path distillation at a pressure of 10 mTorr and a temperature of 120C. At the end of these processes two different oil fractions were obtained i.e. the final distillate which contained 60 wt of DAG and the residual oil which was equivalent to the refined palm oil but enriched with carotenes.
