The unit focuses on providing scientific evidence for the nutritional properties of both palm oil as well as phytonutrients found in the oil.<\/p><p><br \/>Key research areas include lipid nutrition, oxidation, phytonutrients and pre-clinical studies. The unit also conducts human clinical intervention to evaluate the nutritional benefits of palm oil compared to other oils.<br \/>Studies have shown that palm oil is a nutritionally-balanced oil and free of trans fats and cholesterol. Scientific findings support that palm oil has a neutral effect on blood lipid profile when consumed within the recommended amounts. Palm oil is rich with a bouquet of phytonutrients such as natural vitamin E \u2013 tocotrienols and carotenoids. These phytonutrients are potent antioxidants, which promote better health and prevent diseases.<br \/>Moving forward, the Nutrition Unit will serve as the reference centre for dissemination of information and advice on palm oil nutrition.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Our Facilities<\/strong><\/p><table><tbody><tr><td><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2859\" src=\"https:\/\/pdasmpobgovmye97d1.zapwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/10\/nu-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/td><td><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2859\" src=\"https:\/\/pdasmpobgovmye97d1.zapwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/10\/nu-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/td><td><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2859\" src=\"https:\/\/pdasmpobgovmye97d1.zapwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/10\/nu-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/td><\/tr><tr class=\"alt\"><td><strong>Clinical Study Set Up<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Pre-Clinical Facility<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Nutrition Research Laboratories<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><ul><li>Dining hall for dietary interventions.<\/li><li>2 metabolic clinics with body composition analysers and facilities to conduct clinical evaluations.<\/li><li>Metabolic research kitchen to quantify nutritive value of controlled meals prepared for study participants as well as formulation of diets and functional products.<\/li><li>Reception area to serve as consultation area and to provide privacy and comfort to volunteers during recruitment and screening.<\/li><\/ul><\/td><td><ul><li>Specific-pathogen-free (SPF) facilities unit to house SPF animals for pre-clinical studies.<\/li><li>Hematoxylin and eosin (H&amp;E) laboratory for histological studies.<\/li><li>Cell culture facilities.<\/li><li>Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan for rodent<\/li><\/ul><\/td><td><ul><li>Nutrition Biochemistry Laboratory<\/li><li>Lipid Metabolism Laboratory<\/li><li>Nutraceutical Laboratory<\/li><li>Instrumentation Laboratories<\/li><li>Antioxidant Laboratory<\/li><li>Molecular Laboratory<\/li><li>Protein Laboratory<\/li><li>Cell Culture Laboratory<\/li><li>Dark Room Imaging Laboratory<\/li><\/ul><\/td><\/tr><tr class=\"alt\"><td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2859\" src=\"https:\/\/pdasmpobgovmye97d1.zapwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/10\/aa.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/td><td>\u00a0<\/td><td>\u00a0<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Nanotechnology Pilot Plant<\/strong><\/td><td>\u00a0<\/td><td>\u00a0<\/td><\/tr><tr class=\"alt\"><td><ul><li>Scale up facility for production of food grade nanoformulation<\/li><li>Pilot scale equipment for emulsification, homogenization, spray drying<\/li><li>Produces liquid and powder nano-tocotrienols<\/li><li>Food Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certified<\/li><\/ul><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div><\/div><\/div>                    <\/div>\n\t\t        \n                    <div id=\"research-group-tab\" class=\"clearfix eael-tab-content-item inactive\" data-title-link=\"research-group-tab\">\n\t\t\t\t        <p><strong>Lipid Nutrition Group<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Diet and Lifestyle Group<\/strong><\/p>                    <\/div>\n\t\t                    <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction Research Group The main role of the nutrition unit is to provide new scientific evidence on palm oil nutrition and keeping abreast with the latest development in science, health and nutrition.
