Abstract
AbstractPalm oil (raw or refined), as such, or the unsaponifiable matter of palm oil and vanaspati (mostly hydrogenated soybean oil containing 5% sesame oil), when separated on a silver nitrate impregnated Silica Gel G plate or a Silica Gel G plate using (a) hexane/ether/acetic acid (80:20:1.5) or (b) chloroform, respectively, for development showed distinct differences. On the basis of this, two systems have been suggested for the detection of palm oil in vanaspati. About 5% adulteration can be detected by the first method and 10% by the second.
