Malaysia is the largest palm oil but the use of FTIR spectroscopy for quality control is
not prevalent in the industry which can reduce the chemical analysis time considerably and improve Productivity.
The temperature range within the fruit is 30 - 36 deg C, ambient is 31.1deg C

FTIR - TG-IR (thermogravimetry-infrared spectrometry) IR spectra of the gases evolved during thermal decomposition are obtained as a function of temperature. Tiny samples with the aid of an infrared microscope can image the surface by scanning.
