Abstract
This study characterized the accumulation of non-structural carbohydrate
and protein in the oil palm trees. The starch and sugar are the main constituent
contained in non-structural-carbohydrate. In this research, the starch and sugar
accumulation in standing oil palm trees are characterized based on different growth
conditions, then further analysed based position along the oil palm stem and
influence of the weather fluctuation. The effect of storing on non-structural
carbohydrate and protein content based on height in felled oil palm trunk also has
been characterized. In the study on standing oil palm trees, eight oil palm trees was
selected and divided equally into two different groups which are Non-Fruit
Removal Trees (NFRT) and Fruit Removal Trees (FRT).
