โœฆ Synopsis

Abstract

PFAD (palm fatty acid distillate) is a byโ€product of physical refining of crude palm oil products and is composed of free fatty acids (81.7%), glycerides (14.4%), squalene (0.8%), vitamin E (0.5%), sterols (0.4%) and other substances (2.2%). PFAD is used in the animal feed and laundry soap industries as well as a raw material for the oleochemicals industry. Vitamin E, squalene and phytosterols are valueโ€added products which could be extracted from PFAD and are of potential value for the nutraceutical and cosmetic industries.

## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Squalene was concentrated from palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD) in this study using commercial immobilised __Candida antarctica__ lipase (Novozyme 435^ยฎ^). The PFAD was neutralised (NPFAD) using an alkali to liberate the free fatty acids and then hydrolysed at 65 ยฑ 1 ยฐC
