Among its many successes include the utilisation of oil palm and oleochemicals in non-food applications and the development of oil palm biomass as a raw material for pulp, paper and furniture products such as the medium-density fibreboards and energy sector – biofuel. MPOB has won many awards for its achievements in developing the Malaysian oil palm industry. Among the prestigious awards are the top-ranking Prime Minister’s Quality Award and scientific excellence awards for outstanding research projects, at both the national and international levels. The Islamic Development Bank (IDB) has awarded the prestigious - Prize for Science & Technology award in the category for “Institutions Having Achieved Outstanding Scientific or Technological Contribution to the Development of a Member Country”. 22 Upstream Research Gene sequences are archived in the Palm Genes database and are used to build the oil palm DNA chip, for the development of diagnostic tools for breeding and tissue culture IDB Trophy IDB Award MPOB has successfully assembled the world’s largest collection of oil palm germplasm, which has contributed tremendously to the development of planting materials. The range of high quality oil palm planting materials, PS1 and PS2, besides high yield, is known for dwarfness and high iodine value, respectively. Breeding populations developed are PS3 (high kernel The Cremer And Warner Medal content), PS4 (high carotene), PS5 (thin shell), PS6 (large fruit), PS7 (high bunch index), PS8 (high vitamin E), PS9 (bactris), PS10 (long stalk), PS11 (high carotene E.guineensis) and PS12 (high oleic acid). The planting materials and breeding populations developed are for the betterment of the oil palm industry. Accreditation Award Genetic engineering programmes is instrumental in ensuring the future development of the oil palm industry 23 ...the steward of the Malaysian palm oil industry Genomic in-situ hybridisation (GISH) technique Bar coding - part of the tissue culture facilities MPOB plays a significant role in applying and promoting oil palm biotechnology. The genetic engineering programmes are targeted at transforming oil palm from a commodity-based crop to an industrial-based crop by modifying its fatty acid composition and synthesising valueadded products such as oleic acid, stearic acid, ricinoleic acid, lycopene and manomer for biodegradable plastics. in-situ hybridisation (GISH) technique, or chromosome painting, has been applied for distinguishing E. oleifera and E.guineensis chromosomes in hybrids and their backcross progenies. The application of automated DNA sequencing and bioinformatics tools has resulted in over 9,000 oil palm genes being partially sequenced. The gene sequences are archived in the Palm Genes database and are being used to build an oil palm DNA chip, or micro-array, for the development of diagnostic tools for breeding and tissue culture. It is the only organisation in the world today that has the whole complement of genes, promoters and transformation techniques for producing high oleic oil palm via genetic engineering. However, there is no commercial production of genetically modified oil palm and as such, Malaysian palm oil is GMO-free. MPOB has well-established tissue culture facilities and some of the most sophisticated research equipment. In the field of genomics, MPOB has constructed genetic linkage maps of the oil palm genes associated with economics traits. The genomic 24 In Agronomy research, MPOB has developed an expert system known as the Oil Palm Efficient Nutrient System (OPENS) to increase site yield potential. This system determines the status of nutrients in the oil palm environment so that suitable fertilisers can be applied to plantations in appropriate dosages. OPENS, which considers soil characteristics, rainfall, ageprofiles, soil and foliar data, can significantly increase productivity in the plantations. Tools such as Remote Sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS) can enhance precision agriculture and plantation management. The fertilisers, namely MPOB F1 and MPOB F2, have balanced nutrients that optimise nutrient uptake, and deliver more yield. Their continuous application provides good growth and higher yields in the long term. MPOB has also embarked on several farm mechanisation programmes to promote efficiency in the industry, address labour shortage, increase worker's productivity and reduce plantation management costs. New technologies have been introduced and these include the hand-held mechanical cutter, harvesting machine for tall palms and a cable-way system for evacuation of fresh fruit bunches in peat and hilly areas. The Genome Analysis Laboratory for Oil Palm (GALOP) acts as the core facility providing services and gene resource management for MPOB, the industry and the scientific community. Research in tissue culture and the development of alternative methods of cloning have been aggressively undertaken. Good agronomic practices help the oil palm plantation to achieve higher productivity 25 ...the steward of the Malaysian palm oil industry Intermediate Downstream Research Bio-agent product for pest control In Entomology and Mammalia research, the beneficial plant Cassia cobanensis is proven effective in propagating parasitoids and predators for the control of bagworms. A local Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) isolate has potential to control bagworms and nettle caterpillars. Bioagents such as the Metarhizium and Oryctes virus have the potential to control the rhinoceros beetle, Oryctes rhinoceros and reduce damage, especially in zero-burn replanting areas. Plant Pathology research is focused on developing control methods and seeking early detection of Basal Stem Rot (BSR), the oil palm disease caused by Ganoderma. The molecular method can now be used to detect pathogenic Ganoderma species. To prolong the lifespan of diseased palms, hexaconazole can be applied with a pressure injection apparatus. A mechanical trunk injector has also been developed which will hasten the field application of the fungicide. Sanitation is considered extremely important in avoiding field occurrence of this disease. Apart from chemical and cultural practices, other microbes or antagonists which could reduce the infection or spread of Ganoderma are being studied. 26 Trunk injection is one method of fungicide application in the control of BSR Research in Crop Physiology is geared towards understanding the above-ground and belowground resource capture, storage and utilisation, the regulatory processes involved in the reproductive phase (e.g. sex determination, abortion and fruit bunch development) and the physiological responses to environment stress, diseases and agronomic practices. Research tools such as minirhizotron and root auger were developed to further enhance the observation and study of the oil palm root development and turnover. Mechanical harvester for tall oil palm tree MPOB has succeeded in transforming the oil palm milling technology with its continuous sterilisation process. This new process eliminates the use of steriliser cages, rail tracks, overhead cranes, tippers, transfer carriages and tractors. In the conventional batch sterilisation process, bunches are loaded into cages and pushed into sterilisers where they are steamed in batches, for more than one hour. Considerable space and a system of rails are required in this method, which is also labour-intensive. The cost of building a new mill based on continuous sterilisation is estimated to be about 15 per cent less than a mill based on the conventional process. At the same time, MPOB is pioneering the use of a plant-wide control system to facilitate comprehensive monitoring of the milling process and equipment from a control room. Downstream Research MPOB has introduced various formulations for food. Oil palm is so adaptable that it can be used for a wide range of food products. These include margarines, shortenings, fat spreads, ice-cream, cheese, non-dairy creamer and other non-dairy products, salad dressing, chocolates and palmbased coconut-milk (santan) and others. New mill base on automation and plant-wide control system Palm oil is the richest natural source of carotenes (pro-Vitamin A). Increasing evidence shows that carotenes, besides providing Vitamin A, possess anti-artherosclerotic effects and anticancer properties for some cancers. MPOB has developed a process to produce deacidified and deodorised red palm oil to retain carotene for consumption. This technology has been commercially adopted and red palm oil products are already available in the market. 27 ...the steward of the Malaysian palm oil industry MPOB continuously seeks to improve the nutritional value of palm oil. Research has shown that palm oil could be a good partner in the current dietary fat recommendation. Palm oil is increasingly being considered to displace trans-fatty acids in food. MPOB is optimistic that it will become the natural fat of choice for many fat formulations in the future. Palm oil is also rich in Vitamin E with high levels of tocotrienols. MPOB’s research in palm Vitamin E began in the 1980s. Its research findings have confirmed that tocotrienols possess powerful antioxidant, anticancer and cholesterol lowering properties. Recent studies have shown that tocotrienols at nanomolar concentrations offer neuro-protective effects against glutamateinduced cell death. Findings have continued to be promising and as a natural product, palm Vitamin E has an edge over synthetic products in health and pharmaceutical applications. The versatility of palm oil enables it being used in a wide range of food products 28 The versatility of palm oil is not limited to food applications. Its attractiveness as raw material for non-food application is well-known. Industries prefer to use plant-derived raw materials since these are renewable, environmental-friendly and is cost competitive. Palm-based detergents MPOB spearheads the development of palm oilbased polyol for the production of polyurethane products. This industry is expected to generate export income similar to the oleochemical industry. Palm oil or palm olein can be used as an alternative fuel for vehicles and industrial boilers. Palm oil can also be converted to palm diesel and serve as a substitute for diesel. Palm diesel is now being used in diesel engines without the need for any modification to the engines. MPOB is assisting the Government in the formulation of a National Biofuel Policy which envisions a greater use of palm oil as a biofuel for the country. In non-food applications, research has focused on the development of value-added oleochemical consumer products such as soaps, shower products, shampoos, conditioners, grease, detergents and softeners as well as agricultural and industrial products. MPOB has introduced a technology to produce surfactant from palm oil that can compete with other petrochemical-derived surfactants, in terms of costs and performance. Palm-based surfactants have proven to clean as effectively as other surfactants. It is biodegradable, mild towards enzymes and less sensitive to water hardness. It can also easily be formulated into powder and liquid detergents. MPOB estimates the potential demand for palm-based surfactants to be high. MPOB’s Palm Biodiesel Pilot Plant 29 ...the steward of the Malaysian palm oil industry About 10 per cent of the output of the oil palm tree is palm oil while about 90 per cent, in the form of trunk and fibre, are biomass (waste) which has yet to be economically exploited fully. The utilisation of the oil palm biomass is essential in sustainable agriculture. The Prime Minister and the Minister of Plantation Industries and Commodities at the launching of Envo Diesel MPOB, through its research, has made it possible for this biomass to be converted into a wide range of industrial applications and has proven that the conversion of oil palm biomass into certain higher-value products is technically feasible. The fronds, trunks and empty fruit bunches have been turned into plywood, pulp and paper products, medium-density fibreboard, m o u l d e d particleboard and thermoplastic composites. Others include composite boards of various kinds used for making furniture and automotive components. The oil palm biomass is also being used in the feedstock and chemical industry for fertiliser and animal feed production. Products made from medium-density fibreboard Vehicles using biodiesel Commercialisation The new technologies and products emanating from MPOB research and development programmes are actively promoted for adoption and many have been transferred for commercialisation by the industry and Malaysian entrepreneurs. MPOB's commercialisation efforts owe their success to effective transfer of technology methods which are implemented through seminars and exhibitions, technology demonstration month, technology website, pilot plants and incubation centres, the MPOB intellectual property policy and commercialisation agreements. • Farm Mechanisation – Aluminum Harvesting Pole, Mechanical Loader (The Grabber), Automatic Grabber, Super Crawler and Mechanical Harvester. • Crop and Livestock Integration – MPOB’s mixed farming design with distinct features. In a defined, systematic way, two commodities, cattle and oil palm, are managed in a single piece of land. The transferred technologies have contributed significantly to the oil palm industry.
