Efficiently producing second-generation biofuels from biomass is of strategic significance
and meets sustainability targets, but it remains a long-term challenge due to the existence of …

With rising consumer demand for natural products, a greener and cleaner technology, ie,
ultrasound-assisted extraction, has received immense attention given its effective and rapid …

The grave concerns arisen as a result of environmental pollution and diminishing fossil fuel
reserves in the 21st century have shifted the focus on the use of sustainable and …

Lignocellulose, the most abundant and renewable resource on Earth is an important raw
material, which can be converted into high value products. However, to this end, it needs to …

The residual lignin in pretreated biomass significantly hinders the bio-conversion of
cellulose into monosaccharides. In this work, a low-cost non-enzymatic protein from defatted …

Enzymatic hydrolysis is a critical process for the cellulase-mediated lignocellulosic
biorefinery to produce sugar syrups that can be converted into a whole range of biofuels and …

Background Soybean is a rapidly growing crop plant driven by increasing demand for
animal feed, plant-based protein, and human nutritional requirements. Considering the …

Abstract Second-generation (2G) sugar is the principal building block in biorefineries
producing sustainable fuels, green chemicals, and materials. Its production involves a pre …

Apple pomace, the residue which is left out after processing of apple serves as a potential
carbon source for the production of biopolymer, PHA (poly-hydroxyalkanoates). It is rich in …

In this study, lignin blockers including non-catalytic protein and surfactants were employed
to promote enzymatic digestibility of pretreated poplars. Among them, Tween 80 exhibited …
