Antioxidants, toxicity, and nitric oxide inhibition properties of pyroligneous acid from Palm kernel shell biomass

Huge volumes of lignocellulosic biomass residues generated from agricultural activities such as oil palm biomass pose great environmental threats if improperly treated. In this study, pyroligneous acid (PA) obtained from slow pyrolysis of palm kernel shell (PKS) were evaluated for its antioxidant ac...
