Abstract
The slip points and absorbance of tenera, dura palm oils and coconut oil as well as the blends of the two varieties of palm oil with coconut oil have been determined. The result of the study show that slip point decreased with increase coconut oil concentration for both unexposed tenera and dura oil blends, while increased in slip point with increase in coconut oil concentration were observed for the exposed tenera and dura oil blend samples. The slip point of unexposed tenera and dura palm oils were greater than the slip point of coconut oil. The slip points of both exposed and unexposed tenera and dura oils blends were the same when the coconut oil percent in the blends was 50%. On the other hand, the absorbance of exposed tenera palm oil at 350 nm and 450 nm wavelength were 1.130 and 1.525 respectively, while those of unexposed samples of 1.107 and 1.520 respectively were observed to be greater than those of the former. Reverse observation was made for dura palm oil sample. The absorbance of exposed tenera and dura oil blends were observed to be greater than those of unexposed samples at 350 nm wavelength. No significant difference was observed at 450 nm wavelength.
