Oxidation of palm oil (1)

Occurs when its oil molecules combine with oxygen in the air or from other reactant

Oxidation of palm oil (2)

The oxidation of palm oil produces free radicals and compounds which are harmful to human health

Hydrolysis in palm oil (1)

Ooccurs in palm oil when palm oil molecules react with water

Hydrolysis in palm oil (2)

In the hydrolysis process, the reaction between palm oil and water produces glycerol and fatty acids
