Production of microcrystalline cellulose from palm cellulose pulp

Malaysia currently accounts for 39 % of world palm oil production and 44% of world exports. Being one of the biggest producers and exporters of palm oil and palm oil products, the palm oil production in Malaysia contributes 85.5% of the total biomass production in Malaysia. From the 85.5%, empty fru...
