Aidilfitri 1430H @ Boustead Segamaha Palm Oil Mill





program pertama di kilang baru. alhamdulillah semuanya berjalan lancar. terima kasih kepada teman-teman yang sudi hadir dan yang bersusah-payah untuk menjayakannya. ingat 'pembaikan berterusan (continual improvement)' yang saya sebut dalam ucapan ringkas saya. MAAF ZAHIR BATIN BA !

What is DOBI ?

  • Acronym for "Deterioration of Bleaching Index"
  • Easily obtained by simple spectrophotometric measurement and is used to predict the ease of bleaching of crude palm oil during refining
  • Is defined as the numerical ratio of the uncorrected absorbance at 446nm to that at 269nm
  • DOBI = (Absorbance at 446nm) / (Absorbance at 269nm)
  • Crude palm oil quality : DOBI - Good (3-4) ; Average (2-3) ; Poor (<1)
  • Absorbance 446 is related to carotene content
  • Absorbance 269 is related to secondary oxidation of crude palm oil
  • Factors effecting these two parameters will thus also affect the DOBI value
  • To have good DOBI value, attempts must be taken to minimise deterioration of carotene and also oxidation
