A high performance liquid chromatography method for determination of furfural in crude palm oil

A modified steam distillation method was developed to extract furfural from crude palm oil (CPO). The collected distillates were analysed using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with an ultraviolet diode detector at 284 nm. The HPLC method allowed identification and quantificatio...
