Conversion of Renewable Biomass into Bioproducts

Diverting waste products into value-added ingredients

Large amounts of biomass residues are generated every year, and they can be utilized as one of the most abundant, cheap, and renewable resources on Earth. However, improper management allows these residues to become environmental hazards. This work presents research on how to utilize biomass derived from plant, animal, and industrial waste residues. Readers from the industrial and transport sectors, such as biofuel and bioenergy producing plants, as well as the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic and biopolymer industries, will find this work useful.
