The use of Oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) for bioethanol production requires lignin and hemicellulose removals to provide more enzyme accessibility during the subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose to glucose. The well-known Dilute sulfuric acid (DS)-pretreatment degraded mainly the hemicellulose with minimal delignification. Oppositely,
