Waste oil industry has a great potential use, as 77% oil yield are an untapped waste that still has a high economic value as a base for the oleochemical industry, one of which is β-carotene. The study was conducted to optimize the extraction of carotenoids from Crude Palm Oil (CPO) and Palm Oil Mill Effluent waste (POME) conducted by column chromatography and extraction method with a single enz...

Oil palm biomass, namely empty fruit bunch and frond fiber, were pretreated using a planetary ball mill. Particle sizes and crystallinity index values of the oil palm biomass were significantly reduced with extended ball mill processing time. The treatment efficiency was evaluated by the generation of glucose, xylose, and total sugar conversion yields from the pretreatment process compared to t...

This study was conducted to determine the base dietary of animal feed for goat by utilizing solid waste and investigate effectiveness different effect on growth performance goats. Palm Acid Oil (PAO), Napier grass, coconut water lettuce were used as sample produce POME is produced during palm oil mill process [1]. PAO extracted POME. The has caused pollution problem environment. undergoes compo...

Palm oil industries have become the main sector to boost economic revenue in tropical countries, especially South East Asia. In recent years, global production of palm reached 72 million metric tons 2018, increasing from about 68 2017. During that period, Malaysia is currently second world producer after neighbouring country Indonesia. Both countries are leading exporters with 84 % worldwide pr...

Large volumes of untreated palm oil mill effluent (POME) pose threat to aquatic environment due to the presence of very high organic content. The present investigation involved two pilot-scale anaerobic expanded granular sludge bed (EGSB) reactors, continuously operated for 1 year to treat POME. Setting HRT at 9.8 d, the anaerobic EGSB reactors reduced COD from 71179 mg/L to 12341 mg/L and recy...
