Blends preparation:-
PO:PS: POo and PO:PS:SBO at weight ratio
of 50, 30 and 20 (w/w)
Methods
Crystal size distribution (CLD) under isothermal
crystallisation process - FBRM
Triacylglycerol (TAG) profiles HPLC
Fatty acid composition (FAC) GC
Microscopic observation PLM
Polymorphic form X-ray diffractometer

Isothermal crystallisation of
palm oil and ternary blends
from melt was monitored
online using a Lasentec
FBRM probe inserted into
the stirred reactor (100rpm).

The difference in the induction times and the CLD of Palm Oil
and the ternary blends were possibly due to the chemical
characteristics such as the triacylglycerol composition and fatty
acid profile of each type of oil in the blends.
Palm stearin, Palm olein and soya bean oil altered the crystal
size distribution of Palm Oil.
