“…Modification through hydrogenation has the potential to produce trans-fatty acids, which cause the risk of coronary artery disease. Biotechnological modification can be an effective method to improve characteristics and produce healthy products [20], [37], [38]. Therefore the method of interesterification, especially enzymatically, can be used as an alternative to getting the appropriate physical characteristics (plastic fats) without producing isomer of trans-fatty acids.…”

Soybean oil has a characteristic that is mainly determined by the content of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the form of high linoleic (±54,87%), so it is liquid at low temperatures and has a good effect on health. These make soybean oil much preferred to be applied to various food products. This review aims to provide information on soybean oil which includes physical and chemical characteristics, extraction and purification, as well as various current applications of soybean oil in different fat/oil-based food products. Soybean oil can be used for the production of oleogels/organogels, trans-free margarine and creamer, recombined butter, and mono-diacylglycerols. Soybean oil can rectify the physicochemical and nutritional properties of the products.

“…Xylitol serves as a natural sweetener and with 40% fewer calories than the sugar. Black liquor from paper and pulping plants and hydrolysates from various pretreatment processes are also being used to produce xylitol eventually reducing the environmental impacts (Subroto and Hayati 2020). Metabolic pathway alteration is being used to produce methanol, acetone, n-propanol, isopropanol, 1,2-propanediol, ethanol, and glycerol in consolidated bioprocessing system from lignocellulosic-carbohydrates (Mcbride et al 2018).…”

Biobased Products and Life Cycle Assessment in the Context of Circular Economy and Sustainability

Biobased products (biobased materials, bioenergy/biofuels, and biobased chemicals) are the futuristic replacement of fossil-based chemicals and considerably the best way of transiting towards a low-carbon economy (LCE) and which also can simultaneously mitigate the global challenges associated with the depletion of abiotic resources and climate change. Endurance with the biobased products is leading to the development of a biobased economy (BBE). Assessment of environmental sustainability achieved by the production of biobased products is important to understand their decarbonization potential, and all associated impacts with their life cycle and can be measured with life cycle assessment (LCA) tool. Life cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA) combines LCA with life cycle costing (LCC) and social life cycle assessment (sLCA). The framework of this paper is thus designed to provide an insight into biobased products with an overview of LCA as critical tools to measure sustainability. LCA methodology and its importance in determining sustainability for biobased products with associated limitations and probable solutions are also discussed. Circular economy (CE) integrating cradle-to-cradle (C2C) approach is also discussed as a promising endeavor to achieve LCE.

“…The highest value commercial application for xylitol use is as an alternate sweetener in such products as chewing gum and various foods including ice cream and candy [2]. Beyond its utilization as a sweetener, biomedical applications exist for xylitol, including being used to prevent ear inflammations and its ability to stimulate murine hybridoma cell production [3][4][5]. Xylitol is also used as a sugar substitute for diabetics [5].…”

Xylitol Production by Candida Species from Hydrolysates of Agricultural Residues and Grasses

Xylitol is an industrially important chemical due to its commercial applications. The use of xylitol as a sweetener as well as its utilization in biomedical applications has made it a high value specialty chemical. Although several species of yeast synthesize xylitol, this review focusses on the species of the genus Candida. The importance of the enzyme xylitol reductase present in Candida species as it relates to their ability to synthesize xylitol was examined. Another focus of this work was to review prior studies examining the ability of the Candida species to synthesize xylitol effectively from hydrolysates of agricultural residues and grasses. An advantage of utilizing such a hydrolysate as a substrate for yeast xylitol production would be decreasing the overall cost of synthesizing xylitol. The intent of this review was to learn if such hydrolysates could substitute for xylose as a substrate for the yeast when producing xylitol. In addition, a comparison of xylitol production by Candida species should indicate which hydrolysate of agricultural residues and grasses would be the best substrate for xylitol production. From studies analyzing previous hydrolysates of agricultural residues and grasses, it was concluded that a hydrolysate of sugarcane bagasse supported the highest level of xylitol by Candida species, although corncob hydrolysates also supported significant yeast xylitol production. It was also concluded that fewer studies examined yeast xylitol production on hydrolysates of grasses and that further research on grasses may provide hydrolysates with a higher xylose content, which could support greater yeast xylitol production.
