Combination of gamma irradiation and sodium carbonate pretreatment on oil palm Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) for high acidic hydrolysis yield
Oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) fibres were pretreated by gamma irradiation followed by sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) before the acid hydrolysis process to produce reducing sugars using diluted sulphuric acid (H2SO4). In this study, EFB fibres were irradiated at different doses, i.e. 0, 100 and 200 kGy...
