Abstract Malaysia is the 2nd largest in palm oil export, and after overcoming economic age (average 25 years), the palm oil trees entail to replace usually. Therefore, a massive quantity of palm oil trunk biomass, containing a significant amount of starch, is available as bio-waste annually. The efficient extraction of this starch (carbohydrate polymer) would be worthwhile concerning the environment, economy, conversion of biowaste to bioresources, and waste dumping challenges. Central composite design executed an experimental model design, evaluated the impacts of process variables and their interaction through response surface methodology to optimize the novel bisulfite steeping method for starch synthesis. Design-Expert software performed the data analysis. The developed quadratic models for four factors (Strength of Sodium bisulfite solution, steeping hour, mixing ratio with the bisulfite solution and ultra-pure water) and one response (%Yield), demonstrated that a significant starch yield (13.54%) is achievable utilizing 0.74% bisulfite solution, 5.6 steeping hours, for 1.6 and 0.6 mixing ratio with the bisulfite solution and ultra-pure water respectively. Experimental outcomes were quite consistent with the predicted model, which eventually sustains the significance of this method. Malvern Zetasizer test revealed a bimodal granular distribution for starch, with 7.15µm of hydrodynamic size. Starch morphology was determined by scanning electron microscopy. X-ray diffraction investigation exhibits an A-type model, specifying persistent characteristics of extracted starch.

Seed Husk

Pelletization is a significant approach for the efficient utilization of biomass energy. Sunflower seed husk is a common solid waste in the process of oil production. The novelty of this study was to determine the parameters during production of a novel pellet made from sunflower seed husk. The energy consumption (W) and physical properties (bulk density (BD) and mechanical durability (DU)) of the novel pellet were evaluated and optimized at the laboratory by using a pelletizer and response surface methodology (RSM) under a controlled moisture content (4%–14%), compression pressure (100–200 MPa), and die temperature (70–170 °C). The results show that the variables of temperature, pressure, and moisture content of raw material are positively correlated with BD and DU. Increasing the temperature and moisture content of raw materials can effectively reduce W, while increasing the pressure has an adverse effect on W. The optimum conditions of temperature (150 °C), pressure (180 MPa), and moisture content (12%) led to a BD of 1117.44 kg/m3, DU of 98.8%, and W of 25.3 kJ/kg in the lab. Overall, although the nitrogen content was slightly high, the novel manufactured pellets had excellent performance based on ISO 17225 (International Organization for Standardization of 17225, Geneva, Switzerland, 2016). Thus, sunflower seed husk could be considered as a potential feedstock for biomass pelletization.
