Biorefining involves the sustainable processing of biomass into a spectrum of marketable
food and feed ingredients, bio-based products (chemicals and materials), and bioenergy …

The goal of this paper is to review and critically assess different methods to monitor key
process variables for ethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass. Because cellulose …

The phenolic compounds and furaldehydes released during the pretreatment of
lignocellulosic biomass can negatively affect the enzymatic hydrolysis and alcoholic …

Prediction models for major nutrients of rice were built using near-infrared (NIR) spectral
data based on the artificial neural network (ANN). Scientific interpretation of the weight …

The presence of inhibitory compounds as well as low sugar concentration was the main
challenge in lignocellulosic hydrolysate based biofuels production. The objective of this …

The presence of inhibitors is still an economic bottleneck that needs to be resolved in order
to make the biorefineries feasible, requiring the development of technologies capable of …

Abstract Design for fermentation bioreactor controllers is challenged by the nonlinear
process kinetics and the lack of online measurements for key variables. This work …

Many compounds released during the pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass inhibit
enzymes and yeasts, leading to a negative impact on the overall efficiency of biorefineries …

The Fourier transform mid-infrared (FT-MIR) spectroscopy technique, with multivariate
calibration by the partial least-squares (PLS) regression method, was used for real-time …

There are still bottlenecks to be overcome for the feasible industrial production of first-and
second-generation ethanol (1G2G EtOH). One of them is the pretreatment stage. Washing is …
