5.10 - Biocatalysis for Cellulosic Alcohol and Biodiesel Preparation: Roles of (co-)Solvents

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Cellulosic alcohols and biodiesel can be produced from renewable biomass (lignocelluloses and triglycerides respectively) by enzymatic methods. The presence of various solvents (e.g. organic solvents, ionic liquids, deep eutectic solvents, and supercritical fluids) can greatly influence the enzyme׳s activity and reaction outcomes. This Chapter focuses on the discussion of roles of these solvents on enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose and hemicellulose, sugar fermentation, and transesterification of triglycerides.
