Implication

This study compares sugar production effects of rotting and non-rotting fungi in empty palm oil bunches, suggesting fungal diversity can optimize biomaterial pretreatment.

Key Points

Enzyme hydrolysis of A. niger-pretreated empty palm oil bunches produced 1.09 g of reducing sugar after 48 hours at 50°C, highlighting its efficacy.
A. niger showed the best lignin removal at 14.21%, while P. cinnabarinus exhibited the highest laccase activity of 9.26 U/mL, demonstrating varying fungal capabilities.
Using Response Surface Methodology, optimal conditions for A. niger were found at 30°C, pH 5, and 7 g of EPOB, maximizing cellulose content and lignin degradation.
X-Ray Diffraction analysis revealed a reduction in crystallinity in pretreated samples, indicating effective biomass modification for sugar extraction.
