dc.description.abstractThis research investigated the potential use of oil palm sap as a feedstock for bioethanol production. Sap from squeezed oil palm trunks was investigated. The sugar and starch content were further analyzed based on various cultivars, storage time, age and location. Four types of cultivars were used for the study that include; Dura x Pisifera mix (Dura x URT), Dumpy x Yangambi x AVROS, Deli Dura x Yangambi (D3D x L236T) and Deli Dura x Pisifera x H&C. The felled oil palm trunks were stored at a different duration of storage time; 0, 15, 30, 45, 60 and 75 days, before they were cut into discs. The disc was divided into 3 parts: inner (A), middle (B), and peripheral (C) parts, respectively. Each parts of the OPT was squeezed to obtain the fresh sap. High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and phenol sulphuric acid method were used to determine the total sugar and individual sugar content of the sap. Starch in oil palm samples was analyzed using the method by Humphrey and Kelly. The anatomy structure of oil palm trunks was conducted through the Scanning Electronic Microscopy (SEM) and taken from the transverse section. The physical properties of the sample; moisture content and density, were investigated in accordance to American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard.en_US
