Abstract
⺠Bioconversion of empty fruit bunches (EFB) was accelerated by high-pressure steam pre-treatment. ⺠Scanning electron micrographs exhibited surface erosion as well as composting over 20 days. ⺠FT-IR and TG data showed the selective removal of silica bodies and hemicellulose ingredient. ⺠X-ray diffraction profiles of the treated EFB indicated significant increases in crystallinity.
