In this study, a kinetic model for enzymatic hydrolysis of oil palm residues considering the effect of sterilization was proposed and validated. Experiments were performed in batch reactor using palm oil mill effluent (POME) supplemented with sterilized and non-sterilized pressed pericarp fibers (PPF) as substrates. Kinetic parameters were estimated by fitting the experimental data to the models. It was found that the sterilization process as well as the variety in substrate particle size exerted an effect on the apparent rate constant (k), but no effect on the apparent Michaelis constant (KM) and apparent competitive inhibition constant (KI). When compared with the experimental data, the kinetic model provided good prediction to the oil palm residues hydrolysis with mean square error less than 10%.
