Kosugi A, Tanaka R, Magara K, Murata Y, Arai T, Sulaiman O, Hashim R, Hamid ZA, Yahya MK, Yusof MN, Ibrahim WA, Mori Y. Ethanol and lactic acid production using sap squeezed from old oil palm trunks felled for replanting. J Biosci Bioeng. 2010 Sep110(3):322-5 p.324 right column bottom paragraphPubMed ID20547348

| Method |
P.324 right column bottom paragraph: "Using sap obtained from the inner part of the trunk, ethanol fermentation was carried out with S. cerevisiae Kyokai no. 7. Regardless of the addition of
polypepton and yeast extract, the yeast rapidly fermented glucose in the sap into ethanol. The amount of ethanol produced corresponded to 94.2% of the theoretical yield calculated based on
consumption of glucose, sucrose, fructose, and galactose." |
| Comments |
P.322 right column bottom paragraph: "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." See table for sap content (tables 1-6 Table - link ) |
