Empty fruit bunches (EFB) contribute the most to the biomass waste produced from palm oil industries. Biomass waste is made up of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. By having high cellulose content, it has great potential for cellulose production. However, the cellulose extraction process has yet...
