The potential of Tween 80, a commercial food-grade non-ionic surfactant, was evaluated for the extraction of residual oil from palm-pressed mesocarp fibre (PPMF). Results show that the critical micelle concentration (CMC) was achieved at 0.05 wt% surfactant with an interfacial tension (IFT) of 0.51...
