Design and Fabrication of a Palm Fruit Digester
, 2023 This work presents the design and fabrication of a palm fruit digester. The need for a more efficient process for extracting palm oil has made researchers sought for a palm fruit digester that can carry out the extraction process without breaking its nuts or having low belt drive. Hence, for an efficient palm oil extraction system, a proper design that

Oxalate content of palm fruit mesocarp
Biochemical Systematics and Ecology, 1994 Abstract Fruit mesocarp of 60 species of palms were analyzed for total oxalate content. All species contained some oxalate, but concentrations varied widely among the seven palm tribes studied. Fruit oxalate concentrations were consistently low in the Phoeniceae, Borasseae, Lepidocaryeae and Cocoeae, high in the Hyophorbeae, Caryoteae and ...
