Jamaliah Harun , Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment, University Kebangsaan Malaysia, Bangi, Selangor, MalaysiaAbstract
This overview explores the promising potential of bio-succinic acid production from oil palm fronds, a renewable agricultural waste resource. Succinic acid, a valuable chemical building block, is in growing demand for its wide-ranging industrial applications, including bioplastics, pharmaceuticals, and green solvents. Oil palm fronds, abundantly available as agricultural residue, present an environmentally sustainable feedstock for succinic acid production. This review delves into the various methods and processes employed to extract and convert biomass from oil palm fronds into bio-succinic acid, highlighting the economic and environmental advantages of this renewable pathway.
