Microcrystalline cellulose from biomass-palm oil frond

Malaysia, being the world's largest producer and exporter of palm oil, is currently producing about 47% of the world's supply and Indonesia is second, producing approximately 36% of world palm oil capacity. Both nations are expanding their palm oil production capacity and the market contin...
