This work aims to demonstrate the enzymatic production of fatty acid ethyl ester biodiesel from highly acidic feedstock in a single-step reaction, without co-solvents and avoiding the inhibition of the enzyme by ethanol ...

Kappaphycus alvarezii is a red macroalgae widely used to produce carrageenan. The carrageenan processing produces a by-product rich in glucan which has been reported as easily hydrolyzed with enzymes, but the hydrolysate ...

The excess of sugarcane bagasse (SCB) from the sugar-alcohol industry is considered a by-product with great potential for many bioproducts production. This work had as objective to verify the performance of sugarcane bagasse ...

Eucalyptus wood is the primary source of fibers to produce paper and cellulose in South American countries. The major by-product generated in the cellulose industry is sawdust derived from chip wood production, which is ...

Xylooligosaccharides (XOS) are xylose oligomers that have numerous health benefits and can be produced by the acid or enzymatic hydrolysis of xylan-rich materials. This study aimed to extract xylan from sugarcane bagasse ...

One characteristic necessary to make ethanol production from biomass economically feasible is to optimize enzymatic dosage, since enzymes production is expensive. This work investigated the efficacy of different enzymes ...
