Palm-pressed mesocarp oil has been found to contain plenty of naturally occurring valuable phytonutrients. The application and study of the oil are limited, therefore, quality assessment of refined red palm-pressed mesocarp olein (PPMO) is deemed necessary to provide data in widening the applications as a niche products or raw material for the nutraceutical industry. Results showed that refined PPMO has comparable physicochemical properties and oxidative stability with commercial cooking oil, palm olein (PO). The food safety parameters and contaminants (PAH, 3-MCPD ester, 2-MCPD ester, glycidyl ester and trace metals) analyses proven that refined PPMO is safe to be consumed. Besides, refined PPMO contains remarkably greater concentrations of phytonutrients including carotenoids, phytosterols, squalene and vitamin E than PO, postulating its protective health benefits. The overall quality assessment of refined PPMO showed that it is suitable for human consumption and it is a good source for food applications and dietary nutritional supplements.
棕榈压油的中果皮油已被发现含有大量天然存在的有价值的植物营养素。由于该油的应用和研究受到限制，因此有必要对精制红棕榈压油的中果皮油（PPMO）进行质量评估，为拓宽其作为特色产品或营养保健品行业原料的应用提供数据。结果表明，精制 PPMO 具有与商业食用油（棕榈油）相当的理化性质和氧化稳定性。食品安全参数和污染物（多环芳烃、3-MCPD 酯、2-MCPD 酯、缩水甘油酯和痕量金属）分析表明，精制 PPMO 可安全食用。此外，精制 PPMO 含有比棕榈油更高浓度的植物营养素，包括类胡萝卜素、植物甾醇、角鲨烯和维生素 E，推测其具有保护健康的益处。精制 PPMO 的全面质量评估表明，它适合人类食用，是食品应用和膳食营养补充剂的良好来源。
