FFT emphasizes on the versatility and functionality of palm oil as the premium oil through the development of novel and innovative products.This unit carries out research in key areas such as applications of oils and fats in food products, developing trans-free food formulations and animal feeds using palm-based biomass such as palm kernel cake (PKC).Food Technology Group (FTG) emphasizes on the application and optimization of palm oil and its fractions in the production of foods and beverages, which includes margarines, shortening, ice cream, salad dressing, mayonnaise, animal fat replacer, chocolate, emulsion products, bakeries, cheese analogues candy, vegan products and much more. Apart from that, FTG also focuses on the research in enrichment and fortifying of food and beverages products with palm phytonutrients such as Vitamin E (tocopherols and tocotrienols) and carotenes. Feed Research Group (FRG) focuses on the efforts in reducing the dependence on imported raw materials as well as optimizing the usage of oil palm products and\/or by-products in livestock rations. In addition, the group also carries out research on nutritional values improvement in converting oil palm by-products into premium grade feed ingredients.Palm oil contains a balanced proportion of unsaturated and saturated fatty acids. It can be fractionated into various components with different characteristics for food applications to suit the global consumer preferences. Palm olein fraction is very stable for high temperature cooking, making it the most suitable as frying oil.<\/p><strong>Our Facilities<\/strong><table><tbody><tr><td><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3035\" src=\"https:\/\/pdasmpobgovmye97d1.zapwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/10\/pftu-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/td><td><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3035\" src=\"https:\/\/pdasmpobgovmye97d1.zapwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/10\/pftu-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/td><td><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3035\" src=\"https:\/\/pdasmpobgovmye97d1.zapwp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/10\/Facilities-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/td><\/tr><tr class=\"alt\"><td><strong>Pilot Plants<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Laboratories<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Animal Feed Studies<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><ul><li>Margarine pilot plant for the production of margarine, shortening and vanaspati<\/li><\/ul><\/td><td><ul><li>Bakery Laboratory for the making of palm-based bakeries<\/li><li>Chocolate Laboratory for the making of chocolate products<\/li><li>Analytical Laboratory (DSC for thermal analysis; Pulsed-NMR for solid fat content, Rheometer for rheological characteristics; Texture analyser for texture analysis; HPLC for TAG composition; GC for fatty acids composition; Rancimat for measurement of oxidative stability index)<\/li><\/ul><\/td><td><ul><li>Animal feed pilot plant for the production of ruminant, non-ruminant and aqua feed<\/li><li>Climatic Control House consists of broiler and layer houses<\/li><li>Aquaculture Complex consists of 16 concrete ponds with oxygen supply through ball stone<\/li><li>Goat Pen for the allocation of goat during feeding trial<\/li><li>Laboratories consist of Analysis Lab for proximate analyses and fibre composition; and Instrument Lab for free fatty acid composition and gross energy analysis<\/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>Food Technology Group (FTG)\u00a0Group Leader<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Feed Research Group (FRG)<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Group Leader<\/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 Food and Feed Technology Unit (FFT) consists of of two research groups namely Food Technology Group (FTG) and Feed Research Group (FRG).
