Pretreatment of Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) for improved Enzymatic Saccharification by Rashid, Shah S, Alam, Md. Zahangir, Abdul Karim, Mohamed Ismail, Hamzah, Mohd. Salleh

“…Among the physical pretreatment agents drying of EFB was found to be the best method and the maximum reducing sugar 99.06 mg/gm of EFB after 3 days (72 hours) was hydrolyzed from EFB which is 1.3 fold higher than the control. NaOH was proved to be the best among all the agents used in the pretreatment of EFB and 3% NaOH was far more effective on the enzymatic saccharification of EFB and 2.35 fold increment was achieved on the yield of reducing sugar (175.03 mg/gm of EFB) after 96 hours of incubation.…”
