Production of reducing sugar from oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) cellulose fibres via acid hydrolysis

Production of reducing sugar from oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) cellulose fibres via acid hydrolysis

Cellulosic fibre of oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB) were used as a raw material for acid hydrolysis using mineral acids (H2SO4 and HCl) to produce reducing sugar at moderate temperature and atmospheric pressure. Experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of the hydrolysis parameters,...
