“…The mobile phase was 5 mM H 2 SO 4 at a flow rate of 0.6 ml/min and the column and detector temperature were set at 50°C. Chromatograms were analyzed using HPLC software Chromeleon 7.2.6 Chromatography Data System (Lo et al, 2020). All fermentation samples were centrifuged before analysis for 10 min at 10,621 g using an Eppendorf 5430 R centrifuge (Eppendorf).…”

“…To date, CM has been successfully tested and approved for use as an animal feed ingredient (Schulmeister et al, 2019) but use of its cellulosic and hemicellulosic content has not been tested. Given that hydrolysates from a wide range of agricultural biomass residues, such as corncob, artichoke hearts, sugarcane bagasse, and sweet sorghum bagasse, can be converted to value‐added products (Ammar et al, 2020; Krzyżaniak et al, 2020; Lo et al, 2020), it behooves the carinata industry to assess the potential of carinata biomass. Through thermochemical pretreatment and subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis, the biomass carbohydrates in CM could potentially be converted to valuable products, like propionic acid and other organic acids, thus strengthening the overall economics of the carinata value chain (Figure 1).…”

“…The sinapic acid variant affords the highest T g value and exceeds that of polystyrene (Styrofoam, PS, 95°C), a polymer targeted for replacement because of its environmental impact. Moreover, the fiber contained in carinata meal (Table 1) could be biochemically converted to value‐added organic acids and other commodity or specialty chemicals via enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation, similar to sugarcane bagasse (Lo et al, 2020).…”

Brassica carinata or Ethiopian mustard, a non‐edible oilseed brassica, is a low carbon, purpose‐grown, and none‐to‐low indirect land‐use change bioenergy feedstock for the production of drop‐in sustainable aviation fuel, biodiesel, renewable diesel, and a suite of value‐added coproducts. Carinata oil converted to drop‐in fuel using an American Society for Testing and Materials approved Catalytic Hydrothermolysis process has been successfully tested in commercial and military aviation. Carinata meal, the residue after oil extraction, is a high‐protein feed supplement for livestock, poultry, and swine, and can also yield specialty products. The Southeast Partnership for Advanced Renewables from Carinata (SPARC) is a public–private partnership formed with a twofold mission: (1) Removing physical, environmental, social, and economic constraints that prevent regional intensification of carinata production as a low‐carbon feedstock for renewable fuel and coproducts and (2) demonstrating enhanced value across the entire value chain by mitigating risk to farmers and other stakeholders. The partnership's goal is to energize the US bioeconomy through sustainable agriculture and thus contribute to energy security and economic diversification. SPARC relies on a combination of cutting‐edge multidisciplinary research and active industry engagement to facilitate adoption of the crop. This involves informing stakeholders along the entire supply chain, from producers to end‐users, policymakers, influencers, and the public, about the opportunities and best practices related to carinata. This article provides context and background concerning carinata commercialization as a winter cash crop in the Southeast US for renewable fuels and bioproducts. The advances made to date in the areas of feedstock development, fuel and coproduct development, meal valorization, supply chain logistics, and stakeholder engagement are outlined.

“…129 Efforts are now directed towards direct utilisation of lignocellulosic biomass for SA production. [92][93][94][95][96] An SA concentration of 42.9 g L −1 , with a yield of 0.61 g g −1 , has been reported with palm oil empty fruit bunches using A. succinogenes. 97 A genetically modified Aspergillus niger strain has been investigated for improving SA yield, and SA yields of 3 and 9 g L −1 were reported from sugar beet molasses and wheat straw hydrolysate, respectively.…”

The growing worldwide concern over the environmental impact of our heavy dependence on fossil fuels has provided impetus for biomass utilisation to produce fuels and chemicals. A cost-effective conversion technology stands as a challenge for biobased fuels and chemicals to be competitive with petroleum-derived products. This review provides an overview of the recent advances in the conversion technologies of biomass, which includes thermochemical and biochemical processes. With a plethora of conversion technologies available, the choice of suitable conversion technology depends on the biomass feedstock availability and the desired end-product. It is observed that present research is focused on the development of catalysts and optimisation of process parameters to improve the economics of conversion technologies. Efforts are also on towards utilisation of cheaper substrate, lignocellulosic biomass and CO 2 -sequestering algae. Though few technologies have reached the commercial stage, conversion technologies for lignocellulosic and marine biomass are still evolving. Further, much impetus is being given to process optimisation for deriving platform chemicals from biomass for value addition and sustainability of the biorefinery concept. Some key developments in these areas are presented in this review.
