Gluconic Acid: Properties, Applications and Microbial Production

Sumitra Ramachandran, +3 more
- 15 Jun 2006 - 
TL;DR: Gluconic acid is a mild organic acid derived from glucose by a simple oxidation reaction, the principal being sodium gluconate, which has wide applications in food and pharmaceutical industry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bioconversion of volatile fatty acids into lipids by the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica.

Pierre Fontanille, +4 more
- 01 Jun 2012 - 
TL;DR: The study demonstrated the feasibility of simultaneous biovalorization of volatile fatty acids and glycerol, two cheap industrial by-products, and its composition was found quite similar to that of vegetable oils.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biological upgrading of volatile fatty acids, key intermediates for the valorization of biowaste through dark anaerobic fermentation.

Reeta Rani Singhania, +4 more
- 01 Oct 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this article, results obtained during anaerobic treatment of slaughterhouse wastes with further utilisation of volatile fatty acids for yeast cultivation have been discussed, and several separation technologies have been developed, membrane separation being the most suitable one.
Journal ArticleDOI

Production of oils from acetic acid by the oleaginous yeast Cryptococcus curvatus.

Gwendoline Christophe, +5 more
- 01 Jul 2012 - 
TL;DR: Results demonstrated the suitability of the technique proposed, and the feasibility of the conversion of acetic acid, a metabolite commonly obtained during anaerobic fermentation processes, into oils using the yeast Cryptococcus curvatus was reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recent developments in microbial oils production: a possible alternative to vegetable oils for biodiesel without competition with human food?

Gwendoline Christophe, +7 more
- 01 Feb 2012 - 
TL;DR: The review paper discusses about various potent microorganisms for biodiesel production, enzymes involved in the lipid accumulation, lipid quantification methods, catalysts used in transesterification (including enzymatic catalyst) and valorisation of glycerol.
