Ferulic acid production from banana stem waste: kinetic study
For an agriculture-intensive country like Malaysia, the abundantly-available organic wastes such as banana stem provide an opportunity for the conversion into highly-sought compounds such as ferulic acid. Ferulic acid offered variety of physiological benefits used in cosmetics, food preservation and...
