Succulent halophyte Salicornia sp. was characterized to evaluate its suitability for biorefinery, as soil salinization is seen a major agricultural issue and the demand biofuel increasing. Green fractionation of biomass approach chosen, with liquid solid fractions considered separately. Soxhlet extractions were used separate different biochemical groups from pulp, lignocellulosic residue hydrot...

The development of products derived from biomass is emerging as an important force component for economic development in the world. Rising oil prices and uncertainty over the security of existing fossil reserves, combined with concerns over global climate change, have created the need for new transportation fuels and for the manufacture of bioproducts to substitute for fossil-based materials. T...

Ethanol has been used, or proposed for use, as a process fluid or separation agent for a number of biorefining operations. These include oil extraction, solvent exchange, displacement drying, protein extraction, blood plasma fractionation, shellac deposition, protein film deposition, corn zein protein extraction, corn total protein extraction and wheat gluten protein from starch physical separa...
