Abstract
Cellulose and hemicellulose are chains of sugar molecules that can be broken down into the component of sugars through acid hydrolysis process. The sugars are then fermented using Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast to produce bio-ethanol which is then distilled to a higher concentration for final use. These sugars can be derived from a variety of sources. In this paper oil palm trunk OPT has been selected since it has highly potential of sugar conversion. It was initially treated with 75 sulphuric acid to obtain high sugar recovery efficiency. After that the OPT was hydrolyzed using refluxing technique with various percentage ofdilute sulphuric acid at 100C for various reaction times. The solution was then neutralized using I M sodium hydroxide. Finally the sample was analyzed for sugar using High Performance Liquid Chromatography HPLC. Comparison was made between non-treated and treated biomass and it showed that treated biomass has a high yield of sugar.
