Abstract
A study of the effect of age on fiber properties and chemical constituents of oil palm fronds was carried out. Data obtained were subjected to statistical analysis using SAS for ANOVA and Waller Duncan tests. The results obtained showed that age has a significant effect on fiber properties 1 alkali solubles at 5 probability level and hot water solubles alpha-cellulose and ash content at 1 probability level. However age has bo significant effect on alcohol-benzene solubility holocellulose content and lignin content. Based on the results obtained oil palm fronds from trees of 16 22 and 25 years old having a mean fiber length of 1.80 mm 1.96 mm and 2.04 mm respectively and a mean holocellulose content of 67.4 68.2 and 66.0 respectively could be used for the manufacture of medium density fiberboard particleboard cement-bonded particleboard and pulp.
