Abstract In spite of the limited sources fossil fuels, energy demand has been considerably increased since last century. The problems associated with global warming due to rising atmospheric greenhouse gas levels and scarcity fuels make it imperative reduce our heavy dependency on fuels. These reasons forced countries throughout world search for new fuel alternatives. Biofuel have gathered considerable attention their inherent benefits, like lower emission, renewability, sustainability....
The integrated approach in biorefinery mainly involves the utilization of various agroindustrial byproducts as raw materials for production several biobased products like biofuels, bioenergy, and other high-value chemicals. Biofuels are backbone biorefineries, however, value-added biomolecules such biopigments, biopolymers, biosurfactants, nutritional yeast, etc. have been atracting a great attention. these using traditional approaches extensively studied last few years due to their...
The liquid biofuel bioethanol is widely produced worldwide via fermenting sugars extracted from a variety of raw materials, including lignocellulose biomass, one the world’s most abundant renewable resources. Due to its recalcitrant character, usually pretreated by mechanical, chemical, and biological methods maximize sugar recovery. Pretreated biomass undergoes fermentation process performed sequentially or simultaneously saccharification. different strategies (e.g., separate simultaneous...
MODIFICATION OF OILS AND FATS BY BIOTRANSFORMATION.The oleochemical industry has a permanent interested in controlling the physical, functional and organoleptical properties of their products producing useful derivatives from raw materials.The potential biotechnology for developing novel or well-known at more competitive costs meets need this industrial segment expanding goals.In work some technical aspects, problems perspectives related to production oil fat using biotransformation...
The objective of this work was to produce an immobilized form lipase from Burkholderia cepacia (lipase PS) with advantageous catalytic properties and stability be used in the ethanolysis different feedstocks, mainly babassu oil tallow beef. For purpose PS on two non-commercial matrices, such as inorganic matrix (niobium oxide, Nb(2)O(5)) a hybrid (polysiloxane-polyvinyl alcohol, SiO(2)-PVA) by covalent binding. free enzymes were searched compared. best performance regarding all analyzed...
Self-broadened nitrogen isotropic Q(J) Raman linewidths have been inverted to obtain effective rotation–translation (R–T) state-to-state rate constants using the energy corrected sudden (ECS) formalism. These are discussed as a function of rotational levels J and temperature T. Collisional line shifts investigated by high-resolution inverse spectroscopy (IRS) over wide range. Semiclassical calculations lead clear understanding their T dependence. This exhaustive study both diagonal...
Biosurfactants are microbial metabolites with possible applications in various industrial sectors that considered ecofriendly molecules. In recent years, some studies identified these compounds as alternatives for the elimination of vectors tropical diseases, such Aedes aegypti. The major bottlenecks biosurfactant production have been use conventional raw materials increase costs well opportunistic or pathogenic bacteria, which restrict application biomolecules. present study shows potential...
Hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) technology, offers benefits in many processes, specifically due to its low operational cost and simple configuration. In the present work, physical properties, microbial quality stability of bioactive compounds HC-treated tomato juice were evaluated considering different processing conditions. Significant effects induced such as a reduction particle size an increase apparent viscosity observed samples. Moreover, showed higher without sedimentation for 14 days...
For biotechnological conversion of lignocellulosic biomass, a pre-treatment step is required before enzymatic hydrolysis carbohydrate fractions the material, which to produce fermentable sugars for generation ethanol or other products in biorefinery. The most reported technologies are batch operation mode, presenting some disadvantages as dead times process. In this context, hydrodynamic cavitation (HC)-assisted alkaline hydrogen peroxide (AHP) continuous process was proposed sugarcane...
