Abstract:
Palm oil has the potential for use as a vegetable-based lubricant for hydraulic system.
The focus of this study is to determine the effect of light and heat on oxidative
stability of palm olein. Samples were prepared under two different conditions which
were stored in darkness and under visible light. Besides that, the effects of additive
Irgalube FlO under the different conditions were determined. The oil samples were
stored at two different temperatures which are room temperature and 135 °C (heated in oil bath) for 768 hours.
