Abstract The utilization of oil palm biomass in the production of high-value products has increased substantially. Due to the presence of sugars and starches in their tissues, oil palms have an exceptionally low natural resistance to fungi, making them susceptible to contamination. In this study, the properties of particleboard made from oil palm fibers, namely empty fruit bunches (EFB), oil palm trunks (OPT), and oil palm fronds (OPF) fibers and its potential for fungal attack were evaluated. The chemical composition, spectroscopic characterization, morphological features, and elemental analysis of oil palm biomass fibers were identified and thoroughly… More >
