Production of Xylitol from Oil Palm Empty Friuts Bunch: A Case Study on Bioefinery Concept

Abstract: The concept of biorefinery offers the utilization of biomass, in particular agricultural waste, to be converted into energy, chemicals, materials, and food. In 2013 Indonesia produced about 27.4 thousand tons of crude palm oil (CPO) which corresponds to approximately 30 thousand tons of oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB), the biomass waste from palm oil industries. The huge availability of EFB in Indonesia may serve as a good starting point to implement the concept of biorefinery. EFB mainly comprises of cellu… Show more

“…Optimization of xylose concentration model is represented by the following scheme: Higher concentration of substrate for hydrolysis will make the process of hemicellulose conversion to xylose require longer time. When all xylan groups in hemicellulose hydrolyzed become xylose monomers and the process continues, xyloses produced will react with acid to become decomposition products such as acetic acid and furfural [13]. Increasing acid concentration to accelerate hydrolysis time is ineffective.…”

“…The raw materials are washed with clean water then followed by drying using sun and oven at 105°C overnight. Dry EFB was ground and was sieved using Tyler sieve 20 mesh and 60 mesh [24].…”

“…The composition of lignocellulose in OPEFB, varies greatly, depending on the genetics type and environment in which the oil palm is grown (Kresnowati, Mardawati and Setiadi, 2015). Cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin are mainly compound of lignocelulosic material.…”
