Extraction of Value-Added Products from Empty Fruit Bunch by Using Supercritical CO2 and Water as Co – Solvent

Recently, about 34.44 million tonne of oil palm biomass was produced in Malaysia with empty fruit bunch (EFB) as major compounds. This is due to the high market demand for palm oil in the world. The value-added products which are phenolic compounds and fatty acids from EFB were extracted using su...
