The prospect of microbial oils production from oil palm empty fruit bunch

Oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) is a lignocellulosic biomass and has the potential to be converted into oil that can be used as the feedstock for biodiesel production. The production of microbial oil from EFB can be performed through biochemical routes of cultivating oleaginous microorganism on EFB...

Microbial oil has potential to supplement palm oil industry with cheaper feedstock cost. Microbial oil production from oil palm biomass could be integrated into palm oil industry, via the production of biodiesel from non-food feedstock and oleochemicals manufacturing.
