Palm kernel shell (PKS) is actually the by-product from palm oil industry, before the era for palm kernel shell being used as biomass, the oil palm owner will bury the palm kernel shell underneath the land and let it becomes black color palm kernel compost. This is sort of organic fertilizer but because of the hard shell, it takes much longer time for converting totally to organic fertilizer. It is well known biomass product because of it small in size and high in heat energy or calorific value. Palm kernel is kernel from oil palm fruit. After the oil palm fruit gone through the palm oil process, the kernel will be separated and kernel oil will further be distilled and it also gained it status as a bio fuel resource for biomass product. It also classified as a renewable energy that complies with country energy regulation, such as Japan, Korea and Europe. Palm kernel shell also consider as the replacement for wood chip.

The manufacturing process that only goes through the furnace heating system still retains the nutritional content contained in the palm sap. According to the lab results that have been done other than carbohydrates and saccharose. Palm Sugar Arenga Pinnata contains protein with some very good quality amino acids. These ingredients are leucine, lysine, aspartic acid, and glutamic acid. Leucine and isoleucine are essential amino acids that are indispensable for the growth of children and maintain nitrogen balance in adults. Palm Sugar Arenga Pinnata also contains vitamins needed by the human body, which are good for human health. The vitamins contained in Arenga Pinnata are a combination of vitamins A, B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), and Vitamin C.

Another mineral found in Arenga Pinnata is calcium (Ca) or also called lime, a mineral that functions in forming bones and teeth and plays a major role in the vitality of the body's muscles. Based on the results of a Gorontalo State University study with the research title "proximate composition and glycemic index of palm sap" states that palm sugar, especially from palm sugar Arenga Pinnata, has a lower glycemic index than white sugar derived from molasses. The Glycemic Index of Arenga Pinnata is 35.56 where food with a low index will be digested and converted into glucose gradually and slowly so the sugar content is relatively short, so Arenga Pinnata sap can be an alternative drink to maintain blood sugar levels. Drinks with well-known brands that have used Palm sugar as the main ingredient are Chatime, Xiboba, Promise Soul Coffee, Memories Coffee.

Palm sugar is considered a healthier alternative to other sweeteners because its production involves minimal processing with no added chemicals. Because it's unrefined, it also retains high levels of plant-based vitamins and minerals that can benefit your health. Palm sugar also has a low glycemic index compared to other sweeteners, which means itâ??s less likely to cause your blood sugar to spike and crash. While research is ongoing, some studies suggest that palm sugar is a good alternative sweetener for people with diabetes
