“…rhizopodiformis [44], Aspergillus oryzae and A. niger NCIM 1207 [45,46], and for many other bacterial enzymes [47][48][49]. It is also known that the 1-or 3-regioselectivity is typical of several lipases that can catalyze transesterification reactions with high conversion yield [50,51]. The enzymes investigated in our study also possess such synthetic activities (see the above section "Purification of Lipases" and [13]).…”

“…The use of biocatalysts, i.e., enzymes and microbial cells, in the transesterification reaction is also possible [23,24]. For instance, the use of Pichia pastoris yeast whole cell catalyst was implemented for biodiesel production from waste cooking oils [23].…”

“…For instance, the use of Pichia pastoris yeast whole cell catalyst was implemented for biodiesel production from waste cooking oils [23]. The study found that up to 82% biodiesel production could be obtained within 84 h. Alternatively, lipase can also be used as a biocatalyst for production of biodiesel [24]. This process takes place in two steps involving the hydrolysis of an ester bond and esterification with the second substrate.…”

Biodiesel Production from Palm Oil, Its By-Products, and Mill Effluent: A Review

2018

The sustainability of petroleum-based fuel supply has gained broad attention from the global community due to the increase of usage in various sectors, depletion of petroleum resources, and uncertain around crude oil market prices. Additionally, environmental problems have also arisen from the increasing emissions of harmful pollutants and greenhouse gases. Therefore, the use of clean energy sources including biodiesel is crucial. Biodiesel is mainly produced from unlimited natural resources through a transesterification process. It presents various advantages over petro-diesel; for instance, it is non-toxic, biodegradable, and contains less air pollutant per net energy produced with low sulphur and aromatic content, apart from being safe. Considering the importance of this topic, this paper focuses on the use of palm oil, its by-products, and mill effluent for biodiesel production. Palm oil is known as an excellent raw material because biodiesel has similar properties to the regular petro-diesel. Due to the debate on the usage of palm oil as food versus fuel, extensive studies have been conducted to utilise its by-products and mill effluent as raw materials. This paper also discusses the properties of biodiesel, the difference between palm-biodiesel and other biodiesel sources, and the feasibility of using palm oil as a primary source for future alternative and sustainable energy sources.

“…Biotechnology has various industrial applications including the manufacture of chemicals and biopharmaceuticals, bio-polymers and bio plastics, food, feed and biofuels [16]. White biotechnology or industrial biotechnology uses enzymes and micro-organisms to make bio-based products, including chemicals, food and feed, bioenergy, and textiles [10,[18][19][20][21][22]. Gray biotechnology is comprised from technological solutions created to protect the environment, like in the case of oil spills and purifying sewage water [23].…”

Microalgal Biotechnology

Today, microalgae play an important role for the worldwide biofuel demand, together with the production of high value-added products used in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and cosmetic industries. In 2014, the European Union adopted a strategy for developing the bioeconomy, by utilizing microalgae which represent an emerging biological resource of great importance for its potential applications in different fields. Huge potential of tiny microalgae could support a microalgae-based biorefinery and microalgae-based bioeconomy opening up vast opportunities in the global algae business. Nevertheless, in spite of having been studied for over 50 years now, there are still only just a few corporations that are cultivating algae on a large or commercial scale due to operational and capital cost. Techno-economic modeling is a powerful tool for guiding research priorities and assessing the economics, environmental impact and sustainability of microalgal productions. In this chapter, microalgal productions are assessed within bioeconomical aspects and case-studies on microalgal biorefinery are discussed.
