摘要:
A method of improving palm oil yields is provided, which method comprises: admixing an enzyme composition comprising cellulase activity with a palm fruit or a portion thereof or a palm fruit liquid, wherein said palm fruit or portion thereof or palm fruit liquid when admixed comprises at most 40% water content w/w; incubating the admixture for between 0.5 to 8 hours (preferably 4-8 hours) at a temperature of between 50 °C to 95 °C; and separating the oil from other components of the admixture. Claims are also directed to a palm oil phase, a sludge phase or an aqueous phase obtainable by the method. Claims are also directed to the use of the aqueous phase as a fermentation medium, or to a method for producing a fermentation product comprising fermenting a feedstock comprising said aqueous phase and recovering said fermentation product, for instance biofuel.
