Sugarcane bio-refinery products: An efficient one umbrella approach for synthesis of biofuel and value-added compounds using metal-free photo-catalyst

Key Drivers for Non-Centrifugal Sugar Cane Research, Technological Development, and Market Linkage: A Technological Roadmap Approach for Colombia

“…These technologies contribute to aligning products with specialized market niches, characterized by quality standards (Gómez and Espinosa 2017 ), the traceability of bioactive compounds (Meerod et al 2020 ), being organic, engaging in fair trade, being ecological, providing origin appellation, and engaging in best manufacturing practices (García et al 2017 ). Likewise, specialized market niches promote innovation in the food sector (juices, biscuits, sauces, desserts, preserves, herbal teas, wines, and jams) (Cervera-Chiner et al 2021 ), feed sector (molasses, feed blocks, dietary supplements, and soil amendments) (Raza et al 2021 ), energy sector (biomass and second-generation biofuels) (Raut and Bhagat, 2021 ), cosmetics (beauty creams, lipstick, scrub creams, and powder make up) (Chinnadurai 2017 ), and pharmaceuticals (Chinese traditional medicine, policosanol-based products, and antioxidant and anticancerogenic products) (Weerawatanakorn et al 2019 ).…”

“…Blue Cluster-Uses of Sugar Cane Juice and Molasses This cluster is related to both the uses of NCS as a functional and nutraceutical food and food input and NCS production byproducts and coproducts. Molasses is one of the main byproducts of NCS and other sugar cane juice derivatives used for ethanol production (Cruz et al 2021) and is a main input for conceptual sugar cane biorefineries based on biocatalytic processes (Raut and Bhagat 2021). Furthermore, molasses could influence acrylamide and 5-hydroxylmethylfurfural formation and the sensory characteristics on NCS primarily due to Maillard reactions (Sung et al 2020).…”

Prussian blue analogs photocatalyst promote the evolution of value‐added platform compounds via CoCNZn covalent bonds

“…HCOOH contains unstable formyl positive ions that decompose quickly leading to CO spillover, which occurs in the same way in other studies. 13,45,46 And it is possible that the additional detected CH 4 was produced due to the small amount of CO 2 generated in the reaction.…”

Solvent/metal-free benzimidazolium-based carboxyl-functionalized porphyrin photocatalysts for the room-temperature alkylation of amines under the irradiation of visible light

“…The mixture was refluxed for about 48 h with continuous stirring (Scheme 6). 56 chloroform was removed using a rota evaporator to obtain a yellowish sticky solid product, which was cleaned and extracted with diethoxyethane. The organic solvent was collected and dried overnight with Na 2 SO 4 and the solvent was evaporated with negative pressure to obtain compound 4F with 3.9 g yield (72%) (ESI † Fig.…”
