Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleDry Heating of Palm Fruits: Effect on Selected ParametersNu’man Abdul Hadi, Ng Mei Han, Choo Yuen May, Ma Ah NganThis study reports on the effects of dry heating of oil palm fruits for the purpose of sterilization and solvent extraction with various oil parameters. Steam sterilization of oil palm fresh fruit bunches was required as a pre-treatment to deactivate enzymes that give rise to Free Fatty Acids (FFA) before the oil could be extracted. While the use of high-pressure … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 1 Aug 2012 · 8,987 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDetermination of Antioxidants in Oil Palm Empty Fruit BunchesNg Mei Han, Choo Yuen MayThe oil palm Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) undergoes sterilization before being threshed to separate the fruits from the bunch. Upon threshing, the fruits were pressed for its oil while the now Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) will be discarded or used as biomass. It is believed that the EFB contains small amount of oil as well as phytonutrients which contain antioxidative … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 11 · 5 Sep 2012 · 7,184 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIsolation and Characterization of Thermophilic Cellulase-Producing Bacteria from Empty Fruit Bunches-Palm Oil Mill Effluent CompostAzhari Samsu Baharuddin, Mohamad Nafis Abd Razak, Lim Siong Hock et al.Problems statement: Lack of information on locally isolated cellulase-producing bacterium in thermophilic compost using a mixture of Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) and Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) as composting materials. Approach: The isolation of microbes from compost heap was conducted at day 7 of composting process where the mixture of composting materials consisted of 45.8% cellulose, 17.1% hemicellulose and 28.3% … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 12,155 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBio-oils from Pyrolysis of Oil Palm Empty Fruit BunchesMohamad Azri Sukiran, Chow Mee Chin, Nor Kartini Abu BakarProblem Statement: The palm oil industry generates an abundance of oil palm biomass such as the mesocarp fibre, shell, empty fruit bunch (EFB), frond, trunk and palm oil mill effluent (POME). For 80 million tonnes of fresh fruit bunch (FFB) processed last year, the amount of oil palm biomass was more than 25 million tones. The objectives of this study … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 11,184 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCharacterization of Bio-Oil: A By-Product from Slow Pyrolysis of Oil Palm Empty Fruit BunchesK. H. Khor, K. O. Lim, Z. A. ZainalProblem statement: Oil palm Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) are abundant biomass in Malaysia. Studies about production of biofuels using slow pyrolysis of EFB are still lacking. So, this study was aimed to understand the physical and chemical properties of the bio-oil and its simple blends. Approach: EFB was slow pyrolysed with internal heating at terminal temperature of 600°C in a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,016 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCHARACTERIZATION OF OIL PALM EMPTY FRUIT BUNCH AND RICE HUSK BIOCHARS AND THEIR POTENTIAL TO ADSORB ARSENIC AND CADMIUMNorazlina Abu Sari, Che Fauziah Ishak, Rosenani Abu BakarBiochar as a new soil amendment has a potential in controlling the fate of trace elements in the soil system. However, the production of biochar from different feedstocks and pyrolysis conditions resulted in variable biochar properties which have an influence on trace elements availability. The experimental works are focused on physical and chemical properties of biochars produced from Empty Fruit … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 13 Aug 2014 · 10,585 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsINFLUENCE OF REACTION TEMPERATURE AND REACTION TIME ON PRODUCT FROM HYDROTHERMAL TREATMENT OF BIOMASS RESIDUEJakaphong Kongpanya, Kanokorn Hussaro, Sombat TeekasapThailand is facing with problems associated with biomass residue such as palm oil residues (oil palm trunks, oil palm fronds, empty fruit bunches, shells and fibers). Biomass is promising source for the production of an array of energy-related produts including, liquid, solid and gaseous fuels, heat, chemicals electricity and other materials. Therefore, the use of biomass for energy is not … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 2 Jun 2014 · 7,676 accessesView PDFCite
