Thermal Analysisof
Red Palm Oil by STA
In recent years, simultaneous thermal analysis (STA) equipped with sample observation capability has increasingly becoming popular in the field of material characterization and evaluation using thermal analysis. Using this attachment, simultaneous measurements of TG, DTA/DSC as well as capturing the sample’s actual changes in color, shape and volume can be observed visually thru live captured images providing a more detailed information.
Red palm oil is a vegetable oil that consists mainly of triacylglycerols composed of unsaturated and saturated fatty acids. This oil is widely used in the food industry, beauty products as well as biofuel. In this application, the thermal behavior of red palm oil is evaluated using the sample observation STA.
