Water at subcritical state was studied as an alternative way to breakdown oil palm mesocarp fiber (OPMF). The complex structure of cellulose causes difficulty in breaking down the palm oil cell using physical industrial scale method. The decomposition of OPMF using subcritical water (Sub-CW) method...
