This book provides a comprehensive review of bioprocessing technologies that use lignocellulosic biomass for the production of biofuels, biochemicals and biopolymers and sets the stage for their large-scale production. Following an overview of integrated biorefineries, sections cover biomass feedstocks; pretreatment technologies; hydrolytic enzymes; using fermentation to produce specialty chemicals , building-block chemicals, and biopolymers; and phytochemicals and functional food ingredients extracted from plant materials.
