Total sugar contents in the sap samples from inner (A),
intermediate (B), and outer (C) parts of the disks obtained from
different height of the oil palm tree are shown in Table 1. Total
sugar contents were higher in the inner part than peripheral
part except for the bottom most position. The sap obtained
from top contained roughly 20%-less sugars compared to the
sap from the bottom to middle positions, where vertically
even distribution of sugars was observed
