Biomass valorization in converting biomass into value-added products and energy has gained researchers’ attention. In this study, valorization of oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) towards biofuels production was focused. Combination of deep eutectic solvent (DES) and ultrasonication was employed to...
