Palm oil extraction using enzyme mixture treatment

In this study, application of aqueous enzymatic process to enhance the recovery of palm oil was studied. Experiments were conducted to study the effect of different combinations of enzyme mixture towards the percentage of oil extracted with respect to total oil content in palm mesocarp. The optimum...
