Abstrakt: The quality profile, extraction yield, and fermentation chemistry of palm sap depend on various factors such as extraction technique, weather conditions, and preservation methods. This review aims to provide a detailed overview of palm sap extraction techniques and the methods for its preservation. The compositional analysis of palm sap, including physical and chemical parameters such as sugar content, acidity, and mineral composition, is discussed thoroughly. The role of microorganisms in fermentation and the effects of various influencing factors are also critically examined. Additionally, this review evaluates different preservation methods, including thermal processes, refrigeration, and electrical techniques, highlighting their effectiveness in extending the shelf life of palm sap. The review further explores the emerging impact of nanotechnology on palm sap preservation, offering insights into the latest industry challenges, developments, and future prospects. By presenting these findings, this review aims to enhance the scientific understanding of palm sap and stimulate additional research and innovation in the field, paving the way for improved production practices and product quality.
