A composition comprising extracts containing oil palm phenolics in an amount effective for use in a method of reducing cholesterol biosynthesis and thus preventing obesity. The composition up regulates fatty acid beta oxidation and down regulates cholesterol biosynthesis in livers. The composition is useful for prevention of obesity associated diseases. The composition delays the onset of obesity and attenuates the inflammatory response of atherogenic diet, whereby the composition aids to suppress the inflammatory response thereby ameliorating artherosclerosis. The composition delays weight gain or obesity thereby preventing the effects of dyslipidemia.

Anti-obesity and anti-dyslipidemic effects of oil palm phenolics in treating atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease

A composition comprising caffeoylshikimic acids, protocatechuic acid, hydroxytyrosol, hydroxybenzoic acid, said caffeoylshikimic acids and their derivatives extracted from any part of oil palm including but not confined to the vegetation liquor of palm oil milling and palm oil mill effluent, and a method for use in the preparation of a composition containing caffeoylshikimic acids, protocatechuic acid, hydroxytyrosol, hydroxybenzoic acid, said caffeoylshikimic acids and their derivatives. The method includes the steps of pre-concentrating an extract containing the caffeoylshikimic acids, protocatechuic acid, hydroxytyrosol, hydroxybenzoic acid, caffeoylshikimic acids and their derivatives and isolating the caffeoylshikimic acids, protocatechuic acid, hydroxytyrosol, hydroxybenzoic acid, said caffeoylshikimic acids and their derivatives from said extract by liquid chromatography, wherein the elution activity of said caffeoylshikimic acids, protocatechuic acid, hydroxytyrosol, hydroxybenzoic acid, with the caffeoylshikimic acids and their derivatives varying depending on the stationary phase and the composition of the mobile phase.

A process for preparing palm-based polyol monomer includes reacting unsaturated fatty acids or its corresponding triglycerides with polyhydric alcohol. In particular, one example uses oleic acid with about 70% purity as the starting material for preparing the polyol monomer. Moreover, another example uses refined, bleached, and deodorized (RBD) palm olein as an alternative to oleic acid as the starting material. The preparation of the polyol monomer involves the production of monoglyceride of unsaturated fatty acids, which was further epoxidized with peracid and finally ring opened with polyhydric alcohols. Such polyol monomer is used as a raw material for the production of various types of polyurethane products.

Process for the production of a polyol monomer

The present invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a sequence of nucleotides encoding a &#x3b2;-ketoacyl ACP synthase II from a plant, or a variant, derivative, homolog or analog of said &#x3b2;-ketoacyl ACP synthase II. The invention also relates to an isolated &#x3b2;-ketoacyl ACP synthase II enzyme from a plant. The polynucleotide sequences of the present invention may be used inter alia for the generation of cells or plants comprising such cells which have a modified phenotype and/or which exhibit a desired characteristic.
