“…Glucose was found to be dominant sugar (48.19 g/L) followed by sucrose (11.91 g/L) and fructose (8.48 g/L). This result was almost similar with the findings reported by Zahari et al [16]. They also found that glucose was the dominant sugar in OPF juice followed by sucrose and fructose.…”

“…They also found that glucose was the dominant sugar in OPF juice followed by sucrose and fructose. However, Zahari et al [16] showed slightly higher total sugars concentration (76.09 g/L) compared to this study where sugars composition was reported as; 68.58 g/L. This might be due to the different location of collecting the OPF.…”

“…Malaysia. The OPF was cut into small size and the juice was prepared by pressing the fresh OPF (without leaves) using sugarcane pressing machine by following the previous method described earlier by Zahari et al [16]. 72 mL of OPF juice was then distributed into 125 ml serum bottles, sparged with oxygen-free nitrogen gas, sealed and sterilized at 121°C for 15 minutes.…”

“…As for the management of the OPF waste, the pruned fronds are just left in the plantation to be used for nutrient recycling and soil conservation. However, OPF does not contain high metal contents, but it contains high carbohydrates in the form of simple sugar which can be utilized into biobutanol [16]. The renewable sugars from OPF can simply obtained by pressing the fresh OPF to get the juice.…”

Abstract. The interaction between incubation temperature, yeast extract concentration and inoculum size was investigated to optimize critical environmental parameters for production of biobutanol from oil palm frond (OPF) juice by Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 using response surface methodology (RSM). A central composite design (CCD) was applied as the experimental design and a polynomial regression model with quadratic term was used to analyse the experimental data using analysis of variance (ANOVA). ANOVA analysis showed that the model was very significant (p < 0.0001) for the biobutanol production. The incubation temperature, yeast extract concentration and inoculum size showed significant value at p < 0.005. The results of optimization process showed that a maximum biobutanol production was obtained under the condition of temperature 37 °C, yeast extract concentration 5.5 g/L and inoculum size 10%. Under these optimized conditions, the highest biobutanol yield was 0.3054 g/g after 144 hours of incubation period. The model was validated by applying the optimized conditions and 0.2992 g/g biobutanol yield was obtained. These experimental findings were in close agreement with the model prediction, with a difference of only 9.76%.

Biotic and Abiotic Synthesis of Renewable Aliphatic Polyesters from Short Building Blocks Obtained from Biotechnology

Biobased polymers have seen their attractiveness increase in recent decades thanks to the significant development of biorefineries to allow access to a wide variety of biobased building blocks. Polyesters are one of the best examples of the development of biobased polymers because most of them now have their monomers produced from renewable resources and are biodegradable. Currently, these polyesters are mainly produced by using traditional chemical catalysts and harsh conditions, but recently greener pathways with nontoxic enzymes as biocatalysts and mild conditions have shown great potential. Bacterial polyesters, such as poly(hydroxyalkanoate)s (PHA), are the best example of the biotic production of high molar mass polymers. PHAs display a wide variety of macromolecular architectures, which allow a large range of applications. The present contribution aims to provide an overview of recent progress in studies on biobased polyesters, especially those made from short building blocks, synthesized through step-growth polymerization. In addition, some important technical aspects of their syntheses through biotic or abiotic pathways have been detailed.
