Enzymatic hydrolysis of oil palm empty fruit bunch using immobilized cellulase enzyme

The rapid development and the economic growth of oil palm industry have exacerbated environmental pollution since it results in large quantity of waste products produced from the oil extraction process. In many cases, however, low catalytic efficiency and instability of enzymes were considered as ba...
