| Method |
Moisture content was determined by drying at 105 °C for 48 h. Sugars
contained in the sap were determined by high performance anion-exchange chromatography
using CarboPac PA (Dionex Corporation, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) with pulsed
amperometric detection (HPAEC-PAD). Amino acids were analyzed by an amino acid analyzer (Hitachi
L-8900). Organic acids: high performance ion exchange chromatography. Mineral analyses were carried out by inductively coupled plasma
atomic emission spectroscopy with VistaMP-X(Varian, Inc.). Thiamine (8) and riboflavin (9) were analyzed by
HPLC with fluorescence detection. Ascorbic acid was analyzed by HPLC with a UV-Vis variable
wavelength detector. Vitamin B6, pantothenic acid, niacin, inositol, folic acid and biotin were
measured by microbiological methods. |
| Comments |
In order to utilize the old palm trunks felled for replanting,
especially the inner part, researchers attempted to produce bioethanol and
lactic acid, the material for bio-plastics, from felled trunks. |
