Abstract Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch (OPEFB) is an abundant biomass resource in
Indonesia, which contains 41.3~ 46.5%(w/w) of cellulose. This research examined the …

The high cost of lignocellulolytic enzymes is one of the main barriers towards the
development of economically competitive biorefineries. Enzyme engineering can be used to …

The cellulase enzyme is currently the world's third largest commercial enzyme. Because of
its requirement in various industries like textiles, food, waste management, pharmaceuticals …

Lignocellulosic materials are the favoured feedstock for biorefineries due to their abundant
availability and non-completion with food. Biobased technologies for refining these materials …

Oil palm biomass is plentiful but obstinate to chemical pretreatment. In this context, an
enzyme cocktail was used to efficiently pretreat oil palm biomass as a catalyst. The structural …
