Oil palm biomass pretreatment and hydrolysis: a recent biotechnological venture towards bio-based lactic acid production

The effective utilisation of lignocellulosic biomass as fossil-based counterparts in the development of bio-based chemicals manufacturing is progressively relevant. Hence, many works are underway to shift from petrochemical industries to a sustainable lignocellulosic biomass biorefinery in lactic ac...

Malaysia is the leading country as a palm oil producer, with an enormous supply of inexpensive, renewable and non-food, yet untapped oil palm biomass resources. In this regard, oil palm fronds (OPF) rich in glucan content account for 60% of total agricultural biomass in Malaysia, which can accommodate 2 million metric tons per annum of fermentable sugar.

This paper aims to provide insights into the exploitation of OPF as the novel feedstocks in bio-refinery processes. Special emphasis in this review is put on the technology, global demand, commercial status and future prospects of the production of second-generation lactic acid, as this process has received most research and development efforts so far.
