Bioresource utilisation by sustainable technologies in new value-added biorefinery concepts - two case studies from food and forest industry

Ekman, Anna LU ; Campos, Monica ; Lindahl, Sofia ; Co, Michelle ; Börjesson, Pål LU ; Nordberg Karlsson, Eva LU orcid and Turner, Charlotta LU (2013) In Journal of Cleaner Production 57. p.46-58
Abstract
This paper presents a trans-disciplinary assessment of new and innovative biorefinery concepts producing high-value chemical compounds from residues from agriculture, food and forest industries. There is a significant potential of biomass residues in Sweden suitable for the extraction of various compounds, including upgrading by biocatalytic processes, in addition to current energy generation. Two examples presented are quercetin extracted from onion waste by pressurised hot water in conjunction with enzymatic hydrolysis, and betulin from birch bark extracted by liquid CO2 containing ethanol. Inherent in these two extraction processes and production routes is the ability to show good environmental performance from a life cycle perspective.... (More)

Inherent in these two extraction processes and production routes is the ability to show good environmental performance from a life cycle perspective. Extraction of high-value compounds also provides possibilities for innovation in the current agricultural, food and forest industry potentially leading to socio-economical benefits.
