A b s t r a c t The purpose of this research was to study of physicochemical properties of the extracts and to develop and validate HPLC method in order to study their solubility in organic and aqueous vehicles and partition coefficients. The physicochemical characteristics suc...

In this study, the physical properties of briquettes produced from two different biomass feedstocks (sawdust and date palm trunk) and different plastic wastes, without using any external binding agent, were investigated. The biomass feedstocks were blended with different ratios of two waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) plastics (halogen-free wire and printed circuit boards (P...

This study identifies the potential greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions, which can be achieved by optimizing the use of residues in the life cycle of palm oil derived biodiesel. This is done through compilation of data on existing and prospective treatment technologies as well as practical experiments on methane potentials from empty fruit bunches. Methane capture from the anaerobic digestion of pa...

Abstract The palm oil industry is one that significantly contributes to the Indonesian economy. Indonesia’s exports keep increasing every year. In addition producing CPO, also produces solid, liquid and gaseous waste. resulting waste can pollute environment. Solid from consists of empty fruit bunches, juice fiber, kernel cake, shells other solid Of various types produced, bunches (EFB) largest ...

A process to extract proteins from palm kernel meal was investigated. sequence of unit operations implemented and optimized in order ensure an optimal efficacy. It has been determined that among all the enzymes were tested, Alcalase had highest capacity hydrolyse solubilize them solution, especially after using 5% dry matter PKM as a starting material. Thus, 80% solubilized supernatant treatmen...

The present study aims to evaluate the effects of feeding palm oil by-products based diets on different muscle fatty acid profiles in goats. Thirty-two Cacang × Boer goats were randomly assigned to four dietary treatments: (1) control diet (CD), (2) 80% decanter cake diet (DCD), (3) 80% palm kernel cake diet (PKCD) and (4) CD plus 5% palm oil (PO) supplemented diet (CPOD). After 100 days of fee...

E-procurement is electronic methods of conducting business transactions particularly purchasing activities. Many companies around the world have started to apply the technologies though there are still some which refuse to utilize them. The objective of this paper was to investigate the application of e-procurement technologies in managing purchasing activities among the Malaysian Palm Oil Indu...

This work presents the hydrogen production from steam gasification of palm kernel shell (PKS) at 700 C in the presence of 5% Ni/BEA and 5% Fe/BEA as catalysts. The steam gasification was performed in two-staged reactors to evaluate the effect of calcinations temperature and the steam to biomass ratio on the product gas composition. The catalytic activity of Ni/BEA catalyst decreases with increa...
