Furfural is produced from lignocellulose-biomass enriched with pentose derivatives. It is a precursor of furan-based chemicals and has the potential to become a green platform chemical. This review presents and compares the different routes and recent trends furfural production and utilization. Conventional process of furfural production from ligno...

Microbial oil is one of alternative sources for biofuel and value-added chemical production in biorefining process of lignocellulosic biomass. The bottleneck of this process is the low conversion rate of lignocellulose biomass to the target product. This research aims to optimize microbial oil production as raw material for biorefining process from...

This research aimed to isolate biosurfactant-producing bacteria from fermented foods produced in Meuang district, Mahasarakham province based on oil-dispersion ability. Only one bacterial isolate from total 111 isolates, BS-VSA, that generates the largest clear zone on LBGS agar plate was selected as a biosurfactantproducing bacterium for optimizat...

A total of 115 yeast strains isolated from local cassava processing wastes were measured for crude protein content. Among these strains, the strain MSY-2 possessed the highest protein concentration (>3.5 mg protein/mL). By using molecular identification tools, it was identified to be a strain of Pichia kudriavzevii based on similarity of D1/D2 doma...
