Journal ArticleDOI
An overview of the recent developments in polylactide (PLA) research.
TL;DR: Information on current PLA market, brief account on recent developments in the synthesis of lactic acid (monomer of PLA) through biological route, PLA synthesis, unique material properties of PLA and modification of those by making copolymers and composites, PLA degradation and its wide spectrum applications are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Micro and macroalgal biomass: A renewable source for bioethanol
TL;DR: Algae capable of accumulating high starch/cellulose can serve as an excellent alternative to food crops for bioethanol production, a green fuel for sustainable future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fermentative production of lactic acid from biomass: an overview on process developments and future perspectives
TL;DR: A survey has been made to see how effectively the fermentation technology explored and exploited the cheaply available source materials for value addition with special emphasis on lactic acid production.

TL;DR: In this article, the optimal production of α-amylase by Aspergillus oryzae NRRL 6270 in solid-state fermentation (SSF) was attempted by using a Box-Behnken design under the response surface methodology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct lactic acid fermentation: focus on simultaneous saccharification and lactic acid production.
TL;DR: Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation can replace the classical double step fermentation by the saccharization of starchy or cellulosic biomass and conversion to lactic acid concurrently by adding inoculum along with the substrate degrading enzymes.
