Oil palm fronds and trunks leave a lot of lignocellulosic residues in the agricultural field. Due to its highly complex chemical composition, the lignocellulosic matrix is difficult to break down. This study aims to investigate the effects of chemo-physical pretreatment of oil palm fronds and trunks...
