The presence of ferulic acid was detected in various parts of the oil palm and its products such as the fruits, mesocarp fibre, empty fruit bunch (EFB), palm kernel cake (PKC) and fronds. The amount of ferulic acid that could be recovered from these sources depends largely on the extraction methods. Nevertheless, the oil palm and its products are good sources for the cultivation of natural ferulic acid.

Will Malaysians drive the innovation or will our foreign competitors use it to drive over us? In business, remember – unless you innovate, you will evaporate.

But whether all millers are really concerned about this is questionable as in some mills despite the oil losses being higher than the normal values, no positive action seem to have been undertaken to remedy the situation.
