Preservation of Oil Palm Fruits: Nonoxidative Effects of
Ionizing Radiation on Palm Olein and Crude Palm Oil.
Pertanika, 12 (3).
pp. 377-385.
Abstract
The effect of gamma-irradiation on palm oil has been investigated. Irradiation doses (0.1 to 1 MGj') caused
severe destruction of unsaturated but had little effect on saturated fatty acids. Similar effects were obsemed
in irradiated samples stored for 1 and 2 months at room temperature. Radiation (uP to 30 kGy) also caused
severe destruction of carotenes in crude palm oil, but had no significant effect on the free fatty acid content.
These findings indicate that gamma-radiation may be used for preservation but not for sterilization of palm
fruits.
