“…There are a number of plant species with rich flow of chemicals, which could be supplementary sources for liquid fuels and chemical feedstocks. Many laticiferous and resinous species have been screened for their potential as sources of biocrude (Buchanan et al, 1980;Lipinsky, 1981) resulting in identification of potential species as sources of hydrocarbons (Calvin, 1983;Haag et al, 1980;Adams et al, 1984;Bhatia et al, 1988Bhatia et al, , 1989Bhatia et al, , 1993aBhatia et al, , 1993bBhatia et al, , 1993cPadmaja et al, 2009aPadmaja et al, , 2009b. Plant resins contain a number of terpenoids, such as monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, diterpenes, and triterpenes.…”

Biofuels are non-polluting, locally available, and reliable fuels obtained from renewable sources. The rising cost of petroleum-based liquid fuels, due to the depletion of oil sources, has brought biofuels back into focus. Laticiferous and resinous plants can be used for the production of biofuels by catalytic cracking of their non-polar extracts (biocrude). In the present work six resinous species belonging to the families Rubiaceae, Simaroubaceae, Leguminoseae, Dipterocarpaceae, Pinaceae, and Compositae were selected and studied for their potential to yield biocrude, which can be processed into biofuels. Results of studies carried out on upgrading the biocrudes by catalytic cracking using a commercial catalyst are presented.

Bio-based solvents menthene and menthane were obtained through limonene’s partial and total hydrogenation under various catalytic conditions. Heterogeneous catalysts based on different active metals and supports (carbon, alumina, and silica) were systematically tested for solvent-free total and partial hydrogenation of limonene under high and low hydrogen pressure. Influences of these catalysts on the formation of menthene, menthane, and cymene, a dehydrogenated product, were determined. The impact of water addition on the conversion and selectivity of the catalysts was also investigated. Amongst all tested catalysts, Rh/Alumina which was never tested for total and partial hydrogenation of limonene was the most effective as 1-menthene was quantitatively produced at low pressure (0.275 MPa) while menthane was mostly obtained at a higher pressure (2.75 MPa). Water addition on Rh/Alumina favoured menthene production even at high pressure. To propose menthane, menthene, and menthane/menthene mixture as an alternative to fossil-based solvents such as n-hexane for the extraction of natural products, β-carotene, vanillin, and rosmarinic acid solubilizations have been investigated. If a modeling approach using COSMO-RS software predicted a comparable solubilization of these 3 compounds for the 3 solvents, experimental assays revealed that menthene solubilizes β-carotene, vanillin, and rosmarinic acid three to five times better than n-hexane.
