Description
Summary:Oil Palm biomass (OPB), the most abundant lignocellulosic resources in the Malaysia- represents an abundant carbon-neutral renewable resource for bioenergy and biomaterials production. Among these biopolymers, celluloses have been used as source of raw materials for biocomposite and biodegradable materials production due to their fascinating structure and excellent properties. However, structural complexity and heterogeneity of cell-wall microfibrils in OPB is the biggest challenge for the clean separation of celluloses with minimal structural alteration. Among different pretreatment methods, enzymatic delignification for degrading lignin has received much attention as an environmentally safe process. However, this process for lignin degradation has been found to be very slow due to the difficulties in enzyme accessibility to the solid substrate.
