Renewable Sugars From Oil Palm Frond Juice as an Alternative Novel Fermentation Feedstock for Value-Added Products

Renewable Sugars From Oil Palm Frond Juice as an Alternative Novel Fermentation Feedstock for Value-Added Products

In this paper, we report that pressed juice from oil palm frond (OPF) contained renewable sugars such as glucose, sucrose and fructose. By using a simple sugarcane press, 50% (wt/wt) of OPF juice was obtained from fresh OPF. The glucose content in the juice was 53.95 ± 2.86 g/l, which accounts for 7...
