The palm oil market experienced a decline in prices as investors took profits, with the benchmark palm oil contract for November delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange dropping 1.11% to 3,933 ringgit ($903.10) per tonne. This correction was attributed to a decline in Dalian palm oil. Additionally, Malaysia's August palm oil exports decreased by 9.9% compared to July, and there are concerns about potential import tax increases on vegetable oils in India, a key importer. The weakening Malaysian ringgit against the dollar also made palm oil more appealing to foreign currency holders. [Extracted from the article]

Under a suitable thermal oxidation regime, vegetable oils yield a mixture of volatile and semivolatile organics that exhibit very high antimicrobial activities against a variety of microbial species. Volatile and semivolatile products were characterized with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) equipped with electron ionization (El) and chemical ionization (Cl) sources. The GC-MS results showed that the antimicrobial mixture comprised short and medium chain organic acids, aldehydes, and ketones, including propanal, butanal, hexanal, octanal, nonanal, propionic acid, hexanoic acid, heptanoic acid, and octanoic acid. Microbial exposure experiments showed that a short exposure period of less than 2 min was effective in killing vegetative bacterial cells with efficiencies as high as 109. The present report deals primarily with chemical characterization of the volatile and semivolatile organics with GC-MS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Here, a method to characterize edible oils and edible oil mixtures through fingerprinting and the isolation of individual analyte differences is reported. Aroma and flavor analytes in extra virgin olive, olive, peanut, grapeseed, and vegetable oils were sampled with headspace solidphase microextraction (HS-SPME). The samples were analyzed with complementary gas chromatography (GC) systems; two-dimensional GC paired with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GCxGC-TOF-MS) and one-dimensional GC coupled to high resolution TOF-MS. These methods allowed for comparing edible oil varieties by their chromatographic fingerprints, characterizing the samples with the identification of individual analyte differences, differentiating oil mixtures from pure oil varieties with principal component analysis (PCA), and confirming analyte identities with accurate mass data.
