Influence of Inhibitors Generated in Lignocellulosic Hydrolysates from Group of...

ABSTRACT: Concerns over fossil fuels are of increasing interest in biorefineries that utilize lignocellulosic residues. Besides sugars, inhibitors are formed during biomass pretreatment, including acetic acid (AI) and formic acid (FI), which can hinder microbial fermentation. The TG1 and Tuner strains of Escherichia coli were subjected to various acid concentrations. Samples were taken during fermentation to mo...

Microwave-assisted hydrothermal processing of pine nut shells for oligosacchari...

ABSTRACT: Pine nut shells, a biomass residue from the Mediterranean Pinus pinea pine nut industrial processing, were treated by microwave-assisted autohydrolysis to produce xylo-oligosaccharides. Microwave-assisted processes provide alternative heating that may reduce energy input and increase overall process efficiency. The autohydrolysis treatments were performed under isothermal and non-isothermal operations...

Pine nut shells, a biomass residue from the Mediterranean Pinus pinea pine nut industrial processing, were treated by microwave- assisted autohydrolysis to produce xylo-oligosaccharides. Microwave-assisted processes provide alternative heating that may reduce energy input and increase overall process efficiency. The autohydrolysis treatments were performed under isothermal and non-isothermal operations within a...

Xylitol Production by Debaryomyces hansenii in Extracted Olive Pomace Dilute-Ac...

ABSTRACT: The extracted olive pomace (EOP) is an industrial lignocellulosic by-product of olive pomace oil extraction, currently mainly used for energy production through combustion. In this work, the hemicellulosic fraction of EOP was selectively hydrolyzed by diluted acid hydrolysis to obtain pentose-rich hydrolysates that can potentially be upgraded by Debaryomyces hansenii, targeting xylitol production. The...

Production of Oligosaccharides from Pine Nut Shells by Autohydrolysis

ABSTRACT: Pinus pinea nuts are commercial relevant Mediterranean edible forest nuts, with an increasing production and market value, whose industrial processing yields a lignocellulosic by-product, the pine nut shells, currently only used for combustion. Little research has been done on pine nut shells that could support a value-added application for this residue. This work studies for the first time the produc...

Bioethanol production from globe artichoke residues: From the field to the ferm...

The suitability of globe artichoke crop residues to be transformed into bioethanol was assessed in this paper from the field to the fermenter. A 2-year field trial on “Opera F1” (OF1), a hybrid variety of globe artichoke, resulted in an average annual production of residues of 14 t/ha. The residual biomass of OF1 is made up of 24% glucan and 17% hemicelluloses and is rich in soluble sugars. Water extraction (WE...

Jet-loop reactor with cross-flow ultrafiltration membrane system for treatment ...

ABSTRACT: Olive oil extraction is one of the ancient agricultural industries all over the Mediterranean area and even today it is of fundamental economic importance for many industries found over the whole Mediterranean. However, this industry generates large amounts of olive mill wastewater (OMW) and due to its physicochemical characteristics it causes severe environmental concerns and management problems in t...
