The milling technique developed in our laboratory [9] was used for separating PALF from fresh pineapple leaves. These were
collected from the Kok Kwai District, Amphor Ban Rai, Uthai Thani Province, Thailand. The leaves were cut into 6 mm lengths before being fed into a disc milling machine. The cut leaves were crushed into paste. This pastewas then dried, ground, and sieved in order to separate PALF from non-fibrous materials. The general characteristics of PALF have been reported elsewhere
