Synthesis of levulinic acid from oil palm mesocarp fiber by acid hydrolysis

Levulinic acid (LA) can be produced from both C6 and C5 carbohydrates via dehydration and hydrolysis processes of biomass. This study focuses on the production of LA from oil palm mesocarp fiber (OPMF). From proximate and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), it was found that OPMF has 21.16 - 29.73...
