  • Can pili pulp and nut oils be used in nutraceutical and food industries?
  • This research work investigated the potential of pili pulp and pili nut oils for use in the nutraceutical and food industries. Physicochemical properties, triglyceride, fatty acid and unsaponifiable matter profiles of the enzymatically-produced pili pulp and nut oils were analyzed using standard methods.
  • Is Pili nut production increasing in the Philippines?
  • Henceforth pili nut production in the Philippines follows the trend of pili nut production in the Bicol Region. Any change in production in the region affects the national production trend (BAS 2015). Pili nut production has been steadily increasing from 2006 to 2014 (Figure 1).
  • Does pili nut oil undergo hydrolysis?
  • The saponification value also implies the predominance of the higher molecular weight fatty acids. The free fatty acid number, which is an indicator of hydrolytic rancidity, has a higher value for pili pulp oil than for pili nut oil. It can be assumed that pili pulp oil undergoes hydrolysis to a larger extent than the pili nut oil.
  • Which phytosterols make pili pulp and nut oils a potential product?
  • The presence of these phytosterols such as campesterol, β-silosterol, and stigmasterol make pili pulp and nut oils potential products for the nutraceutical industry because of the pharmacological properties of these phytosterols.
