Abstract

Fibre samples from empty fruit bunches (EFB) of oil palm irradiated at 0 50 100 150 and 200 kGy were hydrolysed using commercially prepared enzyme cellulase. The results showed that the amount of glucose produced decreased as the irradiation dose increased. However the glucose yield was enhanced by crushing the pretreated sample into smaller sizes of 0.355 mm and 0.325 mm.
