Enhancing Bioethanol Productivity Using Alkali-Pretreated Empty Palm Fruit Bunch Fiber Hydrolysate

Figure 2

Composition of empty palm fruit bunch fiber (EPFBF) after pretreatment with different concentrations of NaOH at 121°C for 1 h. (a) Proportion of insoluble solids in alkali-pretreated EPFBF and delignification efficiency (close circles). (b) Contents of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin in EPFBF after NaOH pretreatment. All experiments were performed in triplicate.
