Co-Hydrolysis Of Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch Fibres By Commercial Cellulase And Crude Xylanase SOURCED FROM Aspergillus Niger USM SD2 AND Trichoderma Asperellum USM SD4 Towards Bio-Ethanol Production
Ketidak-gunaan pecahan xilosa tandan buah kosong kelapa sawit (OPEFB) adalah faktor pengehad utama terhadap penghasilan etanol OPEFB mampan. Kajian ini menilai ko-hidrolisis berenzim gentian OPEFB melalui sinergi antara xilanase mentah yang diperoleh daripada pencilan kulat terpilih dan selulase komersial (Celluclast 1.5L) untuk menyerlahkan fermentasi cekap gula glukosa dan xilosa untuk penghasilan etanol
Non-utilization of the xylose fractions of oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) is the main limiting factor in the production of sustainable OPEFB ethanol. This study assessed the co-enzymatic hydrolysis of OPEFB fibers through a synergy between crude hemicellulases sourced from selected fungal isolates and a commercial cellulose (Celluclast 1.5L) to enhance efficient fermentation of its glucose and xylose sugars for ethanol productio
