OIL PALM BIOMASS SOLID PHASE EXTRACT CONTAINING HIGH CONCENTRATION OF FAT-SOLUBLE PHYSIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE SUBSTANCE PRODUCED FROM PALM OIL PRODUCTION BY-PRODUCTS AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a solid phase extract containing, at a high concentration, a fat-soluble physiologically active substance, such as carotenoid and tocol, produced from by-products generated during a process of producing palm oil, and a method for producing the same. Since a fat-soluble physiologically active substance, which is contained in palm biomass at a low concentration and can only be extracted by using a large amount of solvent, is extracted by using only water and then adsorbed on a small amount of biomass to be solidified, the fat-soluble physiologically active substance subsequently can be extracted and recovered even after extraction with a small amount of solvent, whereby the present invention can produce raw materials useful for the industrial production of various physiologically active substances possessed by palm biomass. In addition, the present invention is a useful method to improve the economic feasibility of biorefinery by increasing the value added of palm oil production by-products.
