Abstract The efficient utilization of all the key lignocellulosic biomass residues is important for development an integrated biorefineries uassing this as its feedstock. In study, a process involving simultaneous pre-treatement with anaerobic digestion (AD) were implemented processing oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) in order to produced both vanillin and methane. Before after treatment dry rot fungus ( Serpula lacrymans) was analyzed total reducing sugar (TRS), soluble phenols (TSP), pH, weighed. Change physical characteristic morphology untreated OPEFB following fungal culture observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). biomethane potential (BMP) pretreated significantly increased (62.07%) compared sample addition. amount extracted reached 3.48ug mL −1 . This study therefore confirms that multiple products can effectively be isolated preatreatment followed by anerobic fermentation residual thus maximizing returns environmentally impacts other pretreatments.
