Polyalkylglycosides: sustainable production of nonionic biosurfactants from lignocellulosic biomass
TL;DR: In this article , the use of various catalytic strategies (e.g., heteropoly acids, H2SO4, and Amberlyst 15) employed for the production of polyalkyl glycosides from biomass-derived cellulose and hemicellulose in alcohol and water as solvents is discussed.

Biomass-Derived Building Block Chemicals
TL;DR: The chemical industry is currently based on simple molecules derived from petroleum, but these simple molecules can also be produced from plant biomass, called building block chemicals, which can be used to produce a wide range of intermediates or end-products.
