Valorization of Biomass to Bioproducts: Organic Acids and Biofuels focuses on recent technological developments and related challenges surrounding the bioprocessing of biomass for important organic acids and biofuels (waste to energy) for industrial applications. Chapters present information on biomass as a source for fermentation to produce important organic acids and next generation biofuels. Additionally, the book includes chapters on the role of synthetic/systems biology and metabolic engineering in producing these valuable biomolecules of industrial interest. Consolidates the most recent research on the developments of organic acids from biomass - Highlights the applications of organic acids across various industries - Discusses a wide range of biotechnologies for biofuel production - Covers recent challenges in biomass to biofuels and lifecycle analysis Provides recent updates and technological challenges surrounding the valorization of biomass in organic acids and biofuels production Vijai K. Gupta has previously worked as- Senior Scientist, ERA Chair VALORTECH, Estonian University of Life Sciences, Estonia; Senior Scientist, ERA Chair Green Chemistry, Tallinn Technical University, Estonia and Senior Researcher, Molecular Glycobiotechnology Group Department of Biochemistry. NUI Galway Ireland. Currently, he working as Professor (Associate) of Biochemistry at UM6P University, Morocco. Dr. Gupta’s present work is focused on the development and optimization of novel enzyme-based bioconversion systems for biorefining and bioenergy, bioactive natural products and biomass to bioproduct valorisation using microbial technologies. He has 122 publications with h-index 36 and RG Score 41.25 Dr. Maria G. Tuohy is the Head of the Molecular Glycobiotechnology Research Group, Department of Biochemistry, School of Natural Sciences, NUI Galway which has developed a strong track record in Glycobiotechnology and Enzyme Biotechnology. She has more than 20 years experience in the molecular biochemistry, genetics and biotechnology of fungi, with a special interest in thermophilic ascomycetes and the characterization of these fungi as cell factories for protein production, including novel thermostable enzymes/enzyme systems. Dr. Tuohy and her group have developed patented enzyme-based technologies for key bioenergy and biorefinery applications from terrestrial and marine biomass and wastes, including 3rd generation feedstocks. The group also investigates the use of enzymes for the recovery and selective modification of high-value biochemicals and plant carbohydrate-derived bioactives (‘Glycobioengineering’). Dr. Tuohy is a PI in the Energy Research Centre, NUI, Galway and the recently funded national Bioenergy and Biorefinery Competence Centre, is a member of the EU FP7 Biofuels Platform and a national research PhytoNetwork. Dr. Tuohy has been a visiting researcher in RUGhent, Belgium and BSH Institut fur Holzchemie, Hamburg. Dr. Tuohy is author of ~132 research publications, including refereed publications, book chapters, conference papers poster/short communications. She is also a reviewer for international journals and funding agencies and several books as co-editor- Springer Science Publisher, USA; CRC Press, Taylor and Francis, USA; Germany; Nova Science Publisher, USA and Elsevier Press, USA (under Progress) with Dr. V. K. Gupta Dr Quang D. Nguyen is a full professor of food science and biochemical engineering at the Institute of Bioengineering and Process Control, Faculty of Food Science, Szent Istvan University (formerly Corvinus University of Budapest). He holds PhD in Food Biotechnology from Szent István University (Hungary) since 2003. He is leader of Biochemical engineering education programme in the University. His main research focused on the development of bioprocess, bioconversion and application of these technologies in food and feed, renewable bioenergy, utilisation of biomass. His research area is also extended to development of tools for tracing Protected Geographical Indication (GPI) products. He is key person in many national and international research projects related to field of biotechnology (agricultural, food and environmental biotechnology). Quang D. Nguyen has published numerous papers in scientific journals such as Journal of Cleaner Production, Biomass and Bioenergy, Chemosphere, Process Biochemistry, Bioprocess and Bioproducts Engineering, Enzyme and Microbial Technology, Food Technology and Biotechnology, Acta Alimentaria, Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, Biotechnology Letters, Journal of Biotechnology, Bioresource Technology etc. as well as held some book chapters on hand.
