Influence of nutrient addition on the bioethanol yield from oil palm trunk sap fermented by Saccharomyces cerevisiae

What is it about?

Fermentation by yeast on sugar, squeezed from crushed oil palm trunk fallen for replanting to produce ethanol. Addition of ammonium sulphate, disodium hydrogen phosphate, magnesium sulphate and l-alanine enhanced the ethanol yield.

Why is it important?

Promote a utilization of the discarded non-productive old oil palm tree during the replanting cycle for ethanol production.
