Lignocellulosic biomass can provide a consistent and sustainable source of bioenergy. Degraded empty fruit bunch (DEFB) from oil palm is a suitable candidate for biofuels and biochemicals production by using alkaline ethylene glycol pretreatment and two-staged acid hydrolysis. This paper provided several important physical and chemical properties of treated DEFB after alkaline ethylene glycol pretreatment. The dataset for analysis methods which were used in two-staged acid hydrolysis for the determination of reducing sugars, phenolic compounds, furfural and hydroxymethyfurfural (HMF) in the acid hydrolysate was also provided. The key information and dataset provided in this article can be useful for researchers to determine the product compositions from lignocellulosic biomass after the pretreatment and acid hydrolysis processes in the future.
木质纤维素生物质可以提供稳定且可持续的生物能源来源。油棕的废弃空果串（DEFB）经过碱乙二醇预处理和两步酸水解后，是生物燃料和生化制品生产的合适原料。本文给出了碱乙二醇预处理后DEFB的一些重要物理和化学性质。还提供了用于两步酸水解以测定酸水解产物中还原糖、酚类化合物、糠醛和羟甲基糠醛（HMF）的分析方法数据集。本文提供的关键信息和数据集有助于研究人员在未来确定预处理和酸水解过程后木质纤维素生物质的产物组成。
