Crude palm kernel oil (CPKO) was converted into its free fatty acids (FFAs) via alkaline hydrolysis. The reaction optimization was performed using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) through D-optimal design to optimize the conducted hydrolysis parameters. The optimization parameters were varied from...
