| description |
The lignocellulose constituents of oil palm biomass have potential as substrates for sugar and bioethanol production. Research
focusing on this indicated that high enzyme loading may hinder large-scale utilisation. Thus, attempts improving the enzymatic
saccharification of the acid-pretreated empty fruit bunches (EFB) were made by investigating enzyme (cellulase) concentrations
and combinations, and co-existence of enzyme with catalysing agents e.g. metal ions and surfactants. The study revealed that
a combined Celluclast 1.5 L: Cellic CTec of 30 FPU/g: 1% (v/v) gave the optimum glucose yield of 307.3 ± 3.5 mg/g. The
presence of 10 mM cobalt ion and 0.5% (v/v) Triton X-100 enhanced cellulose conversion by 16.2% and 38.4%, respectively.
Overall, an addition of non-ionic surfactants gave the most satisfied cellulose conversion (83.8%) corresponding to 567.2 ±
28.4 mg/g of glucose yield from the pretreated EFB. This improved enzymatic saccharification can be utilised to enhance the
production of second generation bioethanol, particularly from oil palm biomass. |
