Producing Golden Oil from the Palm Fruit

During 2008, some advanced farmers started planting of palm oil tree in Bangladesh. In 2012, the plants started producing fruits in different areas including Bandarban, Thakurgaon, Tangail, Kushtia and Jessore districts of Bangladesh. Palm oil production is very profitable in comparison with other agricultural crops. However, the farmers could not produce palm oil from the palm fruit, as they did not know the technology.

Here is a method for producing edible oil from the ripen palm fruit:

1. To produce palm oil from the palm fruits people need to parboil the fruit for 30-40 minutes and separate the fruits from the stocks, sepal and thorny small sticks of the fruit bunch.

 2. After separation from the thorns, sepal and other debris, fruits are nicely cleaned, washed and again boiled for about one hour. Approximately 30-35 minutes will be OK if pressure cooker is used.

3. After the 2nd time boiling, the fruits are squeezed or mildly hammered to make a smash. Care should be taken so that the seeds inside of the fruits are not broken.  The oil-rich, fiber-mixed smash is separated from the seed. The smash is squeezed mechanically to separate the oil extract from the fiber.

4. The creamy golden raw extract is heated in aluminium made pot to expel the water. When there will be no water bubble seen in the pot, nice golden color palm oil will be appeared in the pot. Let the oil be cooled. 

5. Oil is separated, filtered and poured in glass bottle for storing and consumption.

This video is dedicated to Bangladeshi palm farmers so that they can produce edible palm oil from palm fruit at their own premises.

Farmers Can Produce Liquid Gold on
Palm Trees in Bangladesh

  

In Bangladesh, some people are finding it challenging to invest their money. Some of them invested in the share market and faced a huge capital loss in their investment. However, palm oil plantation is one form of the long-term investment plan that has strong returning possibilities for sustainable individual and social growth as experienced by the Indonesian and Malaysian farmers.

Planting Oil Palm in Bangladesh is a Good Investment

The population of Bangladesh has reached almost 160 million. No doubt, the number will increase exponentially in the near future. This is a great support for the demand of Palm oil in Bangladesh. Palm oil is used in manufacturing of numerous consumable products. It is surprising how the fruits from oil palm plants can be so versatile and useful. The items derived from palm fruits are ranging from cooking oil, soap and detergents, ice cream, candles, etc.

Banning of Transfat in the USA

During January 2007, USA banned the usage of artificial trans-fat on packaged food. Earlier, soybean was treated with hydrogen to make it more solid and give the soybean oil made food a longer shelf life. The trans-fat in the hydrogenated soybean oil has been shown to cause major health risks such as cancer and coronary heart disease when consumed. Palm oil is the most suitable, good and healthy vegetable oil instead of artificial trans-fat added soybean oil.

Biodiesel to Replace Fossil Fuel

This is going to be the major push for the high demand of palm oil in the future. With the current high global crude oil prices, countries around the world are at the mercy of the petroleum oil producers. One feasible replacement for fossil fuel is producing biodiesel from palm oil. Bangladesh, as an agricultural based country oil palm plantation in small, medium and mass scale is an excellent opportunity that can lift up the economy of the country.

Bangladeshi Inventor Invents Hand Maize Sheller (or Pocket Corn Sheller)

Mohammad Abdullah, a Bangladeshi inventor has invented a hand maize sheller or pocket corn sheller. Marginal farmers of the developing countries can use this simple machine for manual shelling of maize seeds from the corn cob. This hard nylon made gadget is very suitable for shelling of maize seeds as it supports zero breakage of seeds during operation. 

The inventor did not applied for any patent, therefore any marginal farmers from any developing countries can copy, make and use this hand corn sheller without giving any royalty to the inventor.

Bangladeshi Scientist Invents 

Plastic Coin for Mass Education

A Bangladeshi scientist has invented the Plastic Coin that could be made of different denominations. This type of coins can be made of hard nylons, ABS plastics and other synthetic materials. The numeric figure which will represent the denomination mark may be embossed at one side of the coin. Any alphabets, symbols or slogans can be embossed or imprinted on the other side of the coin. Pre-school going kids are expert of tearing out the alphabet learning books @ one book per week. This coin will help the kids learning the alphabets and numeric figures of their mother language and other international languages without letting them to tear out the reading materials.

The name of the issuing Government or the authority and relevant information may be embossed on one side of the coin. Alphabets, numeric digits or slogans may be imprinted on the other side of the coin. The coin can be used for serving multiple purposes, i.e., as legal tenders, for mass education and motivating the people with different educational slogans on any specific national issues.

The plastic coin may be used as legal currency for any denomination. The coin can be made of diverse sizes and shapes, e.g., circular, square, pentagonal and other different geometric shape. The coin can be made of different colors and small children will love to play with it and learning the alphabets, numeric figures, symbols and make small sentences using these coins. As the coin can be made of plastics and other synthetic materials, therefore it will be cheaper than metallic coins. During production process, magnetic security codes written on a thin metallic film may be inserted inside the plastic coins for protecting them from fraudulent manufacturing. 

The main features of the plastic coins are:

1. The plastic coin can be used as legal currency and for mass education. It can be used for teaching alphabets of different languages around the world.

2. The plastic coin may be used for issuing any amount of currency or denomination.

3. Children can learn alphabets, numeric figures, symbols and can play 'make sentences' with plastic coins.

4. Plastic coins can be made as per different geometric shapes, sizes and colors.

5. Plastic coins are more durable than the currency notes made from paper and lighter than the metallic coins in comparison.

Is the World ready to harvest 

the advantages of  Centesimal Time?

A Bangladeshi scientist has invented the Centesimal Time counting system, which is based on the formula of 'One hundred'. In this method of counting time, 1 day + 1 consecutive night = 100 hour, 1 hour = 100 minutes and 1 minute = 100 seconds. 

Earlier, the human being at their prehistoric civilization could identify and utilize only day and night or the sun and the moon; i.e., our prehistoric fore-fathers could manage only 2 simple divisions of the time, i.e., the 'light' and the 'dark'.

In ancient Bangladesh and some parts of India, people divided the day and nights in to "Prohor". Hundreds of years ago, people of Bangladesh divided a day and the consecutive night in to eight (8) divisions or, Prohors. There are four Prohors in a day and another four Prohors in a night, i.e., total eight Prohors. That means, a Prohor consists of three hours on the basis of 24 hours.

 

Later, the human civilization learned to divide the time of a consecutive day and night in to 24 hours. Man invented sand clocks and spring driven timepieces to watch, monitor and best utilize their time.

Now we, the mankind need a more precise time counting system to cope up with the fast and forward moving life. The electronics industry have the necessary microchips and LCD/ LED displays to make any gadgets that will use this system to show the time, which will ultimately change the way of counting time.

It is expected that this 100 unit base time counting system will replace the old 24 hours > 60 minutes > 60 seconds based time counting method. It will give the mankind the opportunity of best utilization of time by partitioning it more precisely.

 
In the Centesimal System, as for example, the dial of a digital timepiece will show the times as follows:

Starting from the zero hour         = 00: 00: 01
Late night at 3:00 am                = 12: 50: 00
Morning at 6: 00 am                  = 25: 00: 00
Midday at 12:00 pm                   = 50: 00: 00
Evening at 6:00 pm                   = 75: 00: 00
Mid-night, prior to zero hour       = 99: 99: 99

Mid-night zero hour                    = 00:00:00

Although, the zero hour = 00:00:00 (at 12:00 a.m. of present system) is counted at the 'midnight' on the basis of existing practice; however, the people of any particular country may start their own time counting system just after the 'sunset', instead of the midnight. Therefore, the more active and hard-working people will get some supplementary time instantly after the sunset to prepare their work plan for tomorrow. 

It is expect that the people of this planet will consider the proposal and may include this new system of counting time in their new clocks, smart phones, computers and other gadgets and take a vital part in changing the way that we, the mankind count the time.
