The University of Cape Coast and the Institute for Global Food Security, Queens University Belfast (QUB) in Ireland are undertaking a joint research project to boost the production of quality palm oil production for local consumption and export.
The 15-months project which is being funded through the Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) programme of the United Kingdom Research and Innovation aims at developing a novel, rapid, non-destructive, handheld test to determine the integrity and quality of palm oil and palm cream concentrate.
