Saccharification Of Palm Oil Mill Effluent Solid And Oil Palm Fruit Fiber To Fermentable Sugars For Acetone-Butanol-Ethanol Fermentation
The effect of chemical pretreatments on saccharification of palm oil mill effluent (POME) solid and 'oil palm fruit fiber (OPFF) was investigated. Among the chemical pretreatments applied to the substrate (NaOH 0.5%, Nth 0.5%, HCI 0.5%, HN03 0.5% and EDTA 0.5%), the OPFF treated with 0.5% Na...

| Summary: | The effect of chemical pretreatments on saccharification of palm oil mill effluent
(POME) solid and 'oil palm fruit fiber (OPFF) was investigated. Among the chemical
pretreatments applied to the substrate (NaOH 0.5%, Nth 0.5%, HCI 0.5%, HN03 0.5%
and EDTA 0.5%), the OPFF treated with 0.5% NaOH gave the highest production of
fermentable sugars. However, the saccharification performance for chemically treated
POME solid was not significantly different as compared to untreated POME solid. The
used of autoclaved OPFF at 121 oC, 15 psi with NaOH for 5 minute, increased the degree
of hydrolysis up to 46% as compared to untreated OPFF. The optimum concentration of
NaOH for the treatment of OPFF was 2%. The improvement in hydrolysis of OPFF was
related to an increase of cellulose content, and a decrease in hemicellulose and lignin
content. |
