Brewing and malting technology by‐products as raw materials in L‐(+)‐lactic acid fermentation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the effect and optimize the addition of soy lecithin (SL) or BYE (10% and 20%) compared with Tween 80 and yeast extract (0.19% and 19.12% respectively) in batch and fed-batch LA fermentation.

Combined Ultrasound/Microwave Chemocatalytic Method for Selective Conversion of Cellulose into Lactic Acid.

TL;DR: Ultrasounds (US) pre-treatment was investigated to reduce the cellulose crystallinity, before the MW-assisted conversion, providing LA with a yield of 64% within 90 min at 220 °C below the subcritical water conditions with increased operational safety.

Synthesis of High Performance Thiophene–Aromatic Polyesters from Bio-Sourced Organic Acids and Polysaccharide-Derived Diol: Characterization and Degradability Studies

TL;DR: A systematic study of structure-property relationship revealed that the properties of these poly(thiophene–aromatic) copolyesters (PHS(20–90)) can be tailored by varying the ratio of diester monomers in the reaction, whereby an increase in DMTD content noticeably shortened the reaction time in the transesterification step due to its higher reactivity as compared with DMDMT.

Hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials for ethanol production: a review.

TL;DR: Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation effectively removes glucose, which is an inhibitor to cellulase activity, thus increasing the yield and rate of cellulose hydrolysis, thereby increasing the cost of ethanol production from lignocellulosic materials.
