This paper presents a high temperature ageing study of refined, bleached, and deodorized palm oil (RBDPO) olein at 170 ◦C in the presence of air. In total, two types of RBDPO were examined. The physiochemical and dielectric properties of RBDPO were measured and analysed. We found that the moisture...
