Isolation and structural characterization of mannanoligosaccharides from aqueous palm kernel cake extract

Palm kernel cake (PKC) is the most valuable by-product obtained from the palm kernel oil extraction process. It has been used widely as an animal feed owing to its high protein content. PKC also contains about 81% of non-starch polysaccharides, mainly in the form of mannan-based polymers. Hydroly...
